fj09newbie Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 so on my HJC rpha 70 ST, I have the pin lock visor on as well, and wanted to know the best product to use to clean both. I have heard that it can't contain ammonia, but wanted to check with people I am sure have cleaned these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member betoney Posted June 22, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted June 22, 2018 Every time that I go to the optometrist they give me spray bottles of eyeglass cleaner and cleaning cloths. I always keep one of each in my tank bag. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The outside of the visor can be cleaned with any visor cleaner or dish-wash/water that takes your fancy. I normally dry it with a microfibre cloth. It can also be treated with water repellants to help keep your vision clear in the rain. The inside pinlock section is a soft, water vapour porous polymer that you have to be a bit more careful with as it will scratch and you shouldn’t use ammonia type cleaners on. I normally remove it every six months or so, wash in soapy water and then rinse abundantly with clean water. It’s best to leave it to air dry after shaking all the big drops off. While it’s off you can clean the inside of the visor properly and then refit the pinlock section. Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

Premium Member DavidS Posted June 22, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted June 22, 2018 I use vinegar and water on the outside of mine, and rarely clean the inside with anything other than a microfiber cloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted June 22, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted June 22, 2018 On my pin lock I use Sparkle which has no harsh chemicals and over the last 10 years as an damaged the pin lock I wipe it very gently with a high-quality microfiber towel with no lint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitown Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Never needed more than water. Tough stuff just needs to be saturated a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhchris Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I use a mild hand soap and water applied by fingers to the outside. I then polish the. outside with Plexus. Rinse inside with water. Also use Plexus on windscreen. 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DavidS Posted June 24, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted June 24, 2018 A friend of mine bought one of these for quick cleans while riding, and showed it to me last week on our ride. He said it cleans great, and the magnet is super strong, and doesn't come off while riding. It attaches to your handlebar, and you fill the container with whatever cleaning liquid you want. I ordered one, but haven't got it yet to provide a personal review, but my buddy swears by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I use glasses cleaning wipes. I just put a few in my pockets and I am good to go even for night rides by rives with bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
