ignor what they say. last year had blakc visor, no trouble.

This year i have got a mirror chrome one

both not for road use but never been pulled for them, benn to bike meets too full police around. Also i been pulled by police for going a tad too quick, and they ddint even mention the visor. thumbs

From what I can remember it must admit 75% of the ambient light.Having said that some plod will not pull you if its darker and worn in daylight.

upto 50% tint is legal for day time use only. But i dont worry to much about it, ive always used pinlock visor lids, so it they were to pull me on it i could just remove it, if the visor says not for public highway use, theres ya answer thumbsCool

internal are better in some ways, flick them up if plod pull you and no need to swap. but admit they dont look as good as a mirrored visor where they cant see you

IMO i woudlnt worry about pinlock.

I have an arai, my clear visor has it what is great for rain, and darker/colder days,.

but the tinted one i use on warmer, brighter days and it never fogs up cos its too warm.

Dont worry about it, I have been wearing tinted visors for over 15 years and not been pulled once. I even went on a bike safe course and wore one.
