00:00You know that moment when the sun hits your visor just right and suddenly you're staring
00:03through a spider web of scratches at 60 mph? Yeah, that's not a vibe, that's a safety issue.
00:10And replacing a visor from the dealer usually costs almost as much as the helmet did.
00:16So I went digging, and I found 5 replacement shields that fit the most popular helmets out
00:20there, all for way less than you'd expect. These are the top 5 replacement helmet visors
00:26for scratched shields, and honestly, a couple of these surprised me.
00:30Starting off with the RF1400 photochromic visor for sure, and this one's the star of the show for me.
00:37It's photochromic, which means it darkens automatically when the sun comes out and
00:41clears right back up when you ride into a tunnel or the sun goes down.
00:45No more carrying a spare tinted shield in your backpack.
00:47It fits the Z8, X15, CWR-F2R, NXR2, and the XSPR Pro, and it's got UV cut built-in.
00:57$11.21
00:59Nearly 5,000 sold, 4.7 stars.
01:03For a photochromic shield, that price is genuinely a little ridiculous in a good way.
01:09Next up, if you're running a Scorpion, the EXO-1400 Carbon, the R1, or the EXO-520 and 391,
01:17this plated visor is worth a look. The mirrored coating is the main draw here.
01:22It cuts glare hard on bright days, and let's be honest, it just looks fantastic on a dark helmet.
01:28You also get proper UV protection, so your eyes aren't taking a beating on long summer rides.
01:34$12.02, over $4,800 sold, sitting at 4.6 stars.
01:39Compare that to what Scorpion charges for an official shield and you'll see why people are
01:43stocking up on these. Now for the HJC riders, this one fits the HJ38, the I71, and the F71.
01:51What sold me here is the anti-scratch coating. That's kind of the whole point, right?
01:57You're replacing a scratched visor, so you want the new one to actually last.
02:02It's also anti-UV and dustproof, which matters more than you think if you commute through
02:07construction zones or ride gravel. It's 1977, so it's the priciest on the list,
02:13but it's got a 4.8 rating from over 4,600 buyers. Sometimes you pay a few bucks more for
02:19a shield that doesn't cloud up in three months. If you're on an LS2, specifically the FF906
02:25Advanced Flip-Up, this replacement shield is a straight bolt-on. And that's really the selling
02:30point, no fiddling, no shimming, no drilling. It clicks into the factory mechanism and seals
02:36up properly, which is huge on a modular helmet where a bad seal means wind noise right in your
02:41ear all day. $15.09, 4.8 stars, over 4,500 sold. If your advanced shield is looking hazy,
02:50this is the cheapest way to make that helmet feel brand new again.
02:54And rounding it out, the HJ33 visor for the HJC i90. This one's got the highest rating on the
03:00whole list at 4.9 stars, and that tells you a lot. Anti-UV, anti-scratch, dustproof,
03:07and it seals clean against the eye port so you're not getting whistling at highway speed.
03:12$12.91. If you ride an i90 as a touring or commuter lid, honestly just grab two one clear,
03:19and keep the old one as a backup. At this price there's really no reason not to.
