    Looking for a new clear Visor for my Shoei Z1 - ideally with the pin lock
    system.

    NOw as this is a clear one, it occurs to me that I should be able to get
    these easily in the UK (as opposed to having to use Visor shop or
    equivalent) - any suggestions on a good place that does them reasonably
    cheaply?

  4. I found a place that did cheap visors but I don't have the URL to
    hand.

    I did respond to Peter T in a thread titled "Time for a new helmet.
    Reccomends for anti fogging? " but I seem to no archive from home so
    I'll look it up later on.

    Do they supply direct to the public though? My experience in the past of
    distrubs is they say "go and see one of our dealers"

    Anyway the daft thing is that the Offshire sites are cheaper for the clear
    visors than local shops. Daft.

    So I may as well just use visorshop as not only is it the cheapest but it
    also offers the Pinlock system prefitted.

    dwb emerged from their own little world to say
    A bit ironic that they are CI based considering your recent tribulations.

    I know!

    I really should see if the postal 'service' works the other way round.

    Though I suspect saying "I want a clear Shoei CX-1 Visor to fit a Z1" would
    still result in a tinted Bob Heath special for a Simpson Bandit coming back.

    I think that's an understandable whoosh on your part Adie :)

    My SO's from Guernsey, her parents are still there - yet they get us to buy
    stuff here (see the Oxford Harley thread)

    In theory I should/could ask them to get me one and ship it over - hence
    postal 'service'.

    I'm with WUN on this one. "It's in the post." (a week later) "It's in
    the post" (another week later) "It's really, really in the post." (yet
    another week later) "Oh sorry, we haven't got any in stock after all."

    No replies to emails either, & they never answered the phone unless I
    rang the main shop (Crossan motorcycles). Useless bunch of lying cunts.

    I am loathe to throw the helmet out cos it cost me 435 fucking quid in
    1985. There's a Bob Heath tinted visor on it at the mo.

    Pretty much word-for-word what happened to me after they sent me the
    broken one (which was broken before they packed it).
