Helmet visor peak
OK, don't laugh, but I don't always want to be putting sunglasses on/off while driving, and it's tiring and potentially dangerous to
drive with one hand shading my eyes. old fashioned open face helmets often used to have a peak that acted as a sunshade - are there any stick on peak
thingies available for visors on full face helmets?

I use a V2 Caberg Full face helmet. They cost £80-90 on ebay.
They have an internal smoked visor which can be dropped down over your eyes by a small lever on the side of the helmet.
This means that you are still legal as your front visor is still clear.

Just get a tinted visor - you can flip it up when it's not required for a few minutes, or change it back to the clear one when the weather just
isn't going to play nice at all.
It takes 30 seconds to switch visors and it's really easy to carry the spare in a special cover.
It would be good if someone came up with a visor that changd from clear to tinted (like those glasses that I've forgottent he name of)

I got my helmet for £20 brand new! Wouldn't use it on a motorbike, but it has all the necessary credentials to be used on a track day and
it's really only to keep the flies out of my teeath for road use.
Next time I see the same trader, I'll be trying to get a tinted visor and that'll be me sorted for about £30 all in.
