ZxHooligan Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I just received my new helmet it came with the pinlock insert and cover. Is there anyone here who uses them and should I install it or leave it off. It's on a hjc rpha-10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I just received my new helmet it came with the pinlock insert and cover. Is there anyone here who uses them and should I install it or leave it off. It's on a hjc rpha-10 Use it when it is cold, it works incredibly well for keeping off the fog. It does distort a little and it does cut down on light at night but in the cold it is VERY worth it. Be aware, it scratches VERY easily. So if you really need to clean it do it in a pan of soapy water and just swish it around and then rinse it real good with clear water. If you rub it with anything it will scratch.

jgetz524 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) I have one in my helmet. The instructions say it is not for night use because it is 10% shade (something like that). I use it day/night, hot/cold. It works very well for fog and I don't really notice it any other time. It is clear and fine for night use in my experience.

smccrory Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I've used pin lock for every ride for 2 years and love it, night or day, hot or cold, humid or dry. My glasses still fog though - something "Cat Crap" helps with when I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFlash Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 My HJC has the Pinlock insert. I've had mild fogginguntil I get moving and get some airflow through thehelmet. The inserts come in different tints. I got aclear with the helmet and bought a dark tint for ridinginto the sun. That doesn't work so well. There wasa lot of glare and it wasn't like wearing sunglasses,like I thought it would be. I use Bugslide on my helmetand plastics. Possibly the glare was from that. I also lost a pin from my helmet but an extra one camewith it. I looked up pinlock, online, and gave them acall. They sent me some extras just in case I lostanother one. Make sure the pins are locked all theway on. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 My RF1200 came with one and I love it. Day/night. Haven't had it long enough to say anything about warm weather riding. I don't foresee it being an issue however. Sent from my iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
