1. Version By David Closs

I saw a new Supermotard / Dual Sport helmet recently and decided a home-brew copy was in order. I started with a Shoei RF800 street helmet. I found a visor off a motocross helmet with a fairly wide-spacing on the side mounting points and a center mounting point that was as far back as possible. I ended up using a visor from a KBC TK-X helmet that I purchased for about $20. I epoxied (JB Weld) some nylon nuts to the appropriate places and bolted the visor up with nylon hardware. The nuts are completely hidden by the visor, so there's almost no 'Frankenstein' factor showing. The center mount actually goes to the plastic vent on the top of the helmet. The nuts are tall enough that the shield will go under it, so it opens to one notch less than full which is plenty enough to get my glasses on. There is also enough space between the visor and the helmet that air doesn't build up. I was out today, went about 75 mph at one point, and I never felt a lot of pull or drag from the visor. It even held up through some brush-busting. Just saved myself a bunch of money! -Dave Closs

2. Version By The Morton's

I own an Arai XD helmet, and replaced the stock clear shield with a light smoke tint shield. My wife found a use for the stock clear shield, we put it on our Azonic ASX. It does not totally seal but it does keep enough air circulating inside the helmet and over your face, and still provides good eye protection. We thought someone else might be interested in this so we submitted it. -Wolf and Diane Morton
