I took a pinlock inner visor whatsit back to the shop today saying i couldnt see through the bloody thing before the shop geezer pointed out that it has some kind of protective strip on it that i’m supposed to pull off.
Redster, if it makes you feel any better, both myself and my wife bought new Shoei helmets and didn’t wear the pinlock for the same reason. It was only through idle conversation that he mentioned someone had been trying to ride with the plastic on and bought it back to complain (it wasn’t you was it?). I didn’t admit my mistake, but went home, peeled off the plastic and it’s been on ever since!
