You've been patiently waiting since Shoei released hints of a transition shield. Well, good news. It's here! The much anticipated, eagerly awaited, Shoei Photochromic transition shield is going to be here at Riders Discount this Friday. We are taking pre-orders now and will ship Friday. The Shoei Photochromic transition shield is available to purchase through our website with retail at $169.99. If you need help placing your order, or have any questions about the product, feel free to give MIKE a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804. Is email more convenient? Send us a private message through this forum or write to us at FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM, and we'll get back to you right away! Shoei has teamed up with Transitions Optical, the industry leader of photochromic technology to produce a self-tinting shield of their own for the RF-1200 helmets. Tinted on the left, clear on the right. What's great about the Shoei Photochromic shield other than the fact that it is Pinlock ready, is that it is designed to meet industry standard impact resistance. Unlike other transition shields, the Shoei Photochromic transition shield will better handle road debris chucked at your face. Shoei's Photochromic Transition shield got just as dark as their dark smoke shield with just 23% light transmission in under two minutes time. This means that by the time you walk out to your bike, put your helmet and gloves on, your new shield will have already adapted to the current light conditions. Can you tell which one is the Photochromic shield and which is the standard dark smoke shield? No longer will you have to carry a second shield with you or worry about making it home in time before the sun goes down. Order the Shoei Photochromic transition shield from Riders Discount today!

]New from Arai is their Pro Shade shield system available from Riders Discount. Pictured here with the 2014 Arai Corsair V Isle of Man TT (not included) The Arai Pro Shade system replaces the face shield of any current full face helmets using their SAI-type shield. This includes the Vector-2, Defiant, Signet-Q, RX-Q, and Corsair-V. When raised, the shield works like a visor peak, minimizing glare when the sun is higher in the sky. Lowering the shield is particularly beneficial when the sun is lower in the sky. The Pro Shade shield locks into place in the peak position. To lower, simply pull forward on the shield to lower back down. You can still use your optional clear max vision Pinlock anti-fog visor with the Pro Shade system. The brow vents have the option to partially close to suit your venting needs.
