Hi Everyone, I finally decided to pass my test and bought my first bike. T/Daytona 600 2003. Very happy man....The Best of British Looking forward to browsing through the posts and learning more about Triumph and biking in general. First question though, anti-mist advice needed, using a sparx full face helmet. Tried the myth of washing up liquid - that nearly ended badly. I have a spray that is ok (at work and cant remember the name?) but still fogs when standing - I'm hoping someoneI has some little nugget of info that could help?? Cheers Ric
Welcome & congratulations on passing your test and buying Triumph :upyeah: For the anti misting you can't beat pin lock, never let me down
Cheers I'll look it up, I'm starting to get fed up of riding with my visor open, especially in this weather
Welcome to the forum, you little monkey, you. The washing up liquid thing does actually work, but if you use too much you might as well coat your visor in beef dripping! It's a trial and error job. However, if you can't get a pinlock for the helmet you use, this stuff works: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bob-Heath-V...9468144&sr=8-1&keywords=bob+heath+visor+spray
Cheers Bry, that's the spray I've got, I just find it doesn't work that well when riding slow or standing still. I think the problem is more with the lack if ventilation in the lid - or maybe I'm looking for an excuse to get a new one lol Cheers for the welcomes - think I'll be staying around, have already been getting some great advice of people - liking the site cheers all
I'm glad you like the site. Some folks have found it a bit offensive, you cock! It's a good place to be. B PS (The pinlock thing is the way to go - I know that Arai and Shoei do it but have no idea about other makes, sorry).
Try holding your fucking breath when going slowly or stationary.... Alternatively get a mans bike, lets say a Triumph cruiser & wear an open face lid. Works for me View attachment 2708 PS Ignore Bryan, he is the forums resident View attachment 2709
Hi MonkeyRyder, Welcome to the site. Like the leathers, I was riding along today on my tiger thinking SH*T my knees are freezing, why don't you buy some leathers or get something with fairings on it. My helmet does mist-up a bit, but then again its one of those that you can crack in two by grabbing a switch on the jaw piece, splitting the thing in two does remedy the clouding effects of condensation.
Wolley try putting some clothes on that might help with frost bite! And p19djg if he's the the forum resident I think that makes you the forum retard! Just saying I've read a few posts... Lmao Nice to meet you guys :smile:
Hi and welcome to the Triumph forum. Best solution for your visor is the Pinlock system; basically double glazing for your helmet. You will need two plastic pins inserting through your current visor (or buy a pinlock ready one) then the thin plastic pinlock screen fits tight up against the inside of your visor. The two screens are held apart by a silicone seal giving a small air gap which stops misting on the inside almost completely.
Hi Monkey and welcome to the forum - as Pig says try the above? FKW though? weirdo! x p.s ignore Pig as he will eventually post pics of his cock - you need some zoom for that! x
