Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Got a new visor today and when I put it on I realized there were these plastic things held into my visor with screws? It's a Race strip visor, why are those on my visor? Can I take em off? (If I take em off then there will be holes there.) Should I just return it and get the non-race strip visor?

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 They're called tear off posts I guess. What's the point of them? So far for the first ride all they're doing is pissing me off staying just on the very outside of my peripheral vision. I'm sure it's something I'll get used to...

ponyjr1647545514 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 what kind of helmet is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 It's a Bell Star... I guess I bought the race visor? mirrored ones are sooo damn expensive and I walked out of the store before I had realized the tear off posts were on it. If I take off the posts then I'm pretty sure I'm going to hear wind rushing in non stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 if its like MX goggles are, you can buy tear offs to put on there...theyre thin pieces of plastic the shape of the visor...so if you get a huge bug that splatters into your face mask and you dont have time to stop etc, you just rip that layer off and then you have clear vision again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I still don't even get how they work to be honest with you. I just have these plastic things on my visor that I can see now. I've been out riding most of the day now and they don't seem to bother me anymore. Now I just need to find out their purpose.
