Advice & Guides Check inside your helmet box for a long, thin packet. In there lies clear vision on wet days. Here's what to do with it...
Customers largely appreciate the functionality of Pinlock inserts, particularly for their anti-fogging capabilities and ease of installation. However, several customers have noted issues with the product, such as susceptibility to scratches and manufacturing defects like flat spots in the silicone seal. While effective, some customers find the inserts expensive considering their durability. The inserts, which adapt to light conditions, are seen as essential for all-weather riders, even though some customers found them not dark enough.
The new pin lock was bought as the previous one became scratched and cloudy. this was a surprise as this is inside the visor and is very rarely touched and only ever cleaned with a water damped cloth. However the pinlock works well and is easy to fit. As per the last one we bought the same it is embossed with a message "Day Light Use Only" what is that all about this is a clear visor and clear pinlock, are you meant to take it out if it gets dark whilst riding, what if you don't take it out and had an accident ? would you be liable ? Price was OK as in the sale otherwise they are expensive.
Received the pinlock and was surprised to see embossed in the lower edge "Day Light Use Only" never seen this before on a pinlock and not very helpful. The pinlock is clear so no reason not to use it at night, except what if you have an accident at night and the police look at it, who is then to blame ? Also after a few moNths it has gone cloudy so needs to be replaced.
If they did them for my glasses too
The HJC Pinlock insert for RPHA 11 / RPHA 70 is a simple but highly effective upgrade. Once installed, it virtually eliminates visor fogging in cold or wet conditions, making riding much safer and more comfortable.
It fits cleanly into the visor and seals well when properly tensioned. In real-world use, it performs reliably even in heavy rain or winter commuting, keeping vision clear without constant visor cracking.
Price seems a bit steep for what it is.
This product works great (which was a relief as I had previously bought a cheap replacement pin lock insert from elsewhere which was useless and fogged up in cold weather). Even in damp and cold conditions it remains fog-free. Recommended.
This product is the industry standard for a reason.
Great visor
Reasonable price

New pinlock insert to go with my new visor for clear vision in the cold, wet, dark UK winter.
Fits well, works well when properly fitted.
First time trying the Pinlock 120XLT.
You can tell a difference immediately. Better fogging resistance & fits as expected. The R&D that pinlock have invested in this new product shows. I have had a few in the past that have not lasted on a wet ride but this is far better. Well done Pinlock!
Product is pretty standard and fits well unlike an aftermarket one I bought... Lesson learned.
I paid for next day delivery however, it was delayed and did not arrive until 3 days later. Totally a first world problem and To be fair to the customer service team, they refunded me the postage as soon as it was highlighted.
£30 well spent. Proved to be invaluable on a recent trip to Scotland where we had to ride home in storm Amy.
Love Sportsbikeshop's speed of response & delivery. Pinlock has become an essential part of my riding equipment, no more fogging & misting even when raining.
Clear and stops misting
Really easy to switch out the visor. Looks brilliant on my helmet and keeps the sun from blinding me on the road. Easy to fit a pin lock to as well. 10/10 recommend it
1ST CLASS SERVICE FROM SPORTSBIKESHOP,HIGHLY RECOMMEND
FITS PERFECTLY AND DOES A GREAT JOB
Original visor cracked at the clasp. The replacement seems to be better quality and has upgraded pinlock pegs / fixings.
I would always recommend Pinlock as it helps with they cold mornings, nothing worse than fogging up and you have to open your visor slightly to he'll get it away. This way no cold drafts and happy riding
Unfortunately not I'm afraid, you would need a HJ-34 pinlock insert.
This is only compatible with the HJC R-PHA 11 and R-PHA 70 helmets.
The R-PHA-11 and the R-PHA 70 share the same visor, and so the Pinlock insert will fit.
We can confirm that they are Pinlock 70.
Find it cheaper at any major motorcycle accessory retailer, online or in-store and we‘ll match it.
