Shoei DKS301 Pinlock Insert - X-spirit 3 / XR 1100 / Qwest / Neotec 2 / GT Air 3 / NXR

With daily use, these Pinlock inserts gradually lose there anti-fog performance over time and replacing them regularly is important for me.
After researching suppliers locally and on-line, I found that Sportsbikeshop have the most competitive prices and by quite a margin.
Add in the free postage (for buying more than one item) and was really impressed with the value for money.

Good fit and works well

Fitted perfectly and needed no adjustment. As this is a replacement I know it works but it is important to make sure it fits correctly with no slight air gaps. Otherwise its condensation reducing capabilities will be compromised. The service at Sportsbike Shop was excellent after initially supplying the wrong visor which I replaced at the same time.

I bought this to replace the Pinlock insert supplied with my Shoei GT Air II helmet as I'd managed to scratch the original one. Pinlock will give you mist free vision for a good few hours in the heaviest of downpours. Eventually it will saturate with moisture in bad rain and water will trickle down. At that point it's time to stop at a petrol station, cafe, pub etc for a drink and to dry the insert gently with tissue paper.

I've given 4, rather than 5 stats, as installing these 100% correctly is tricky. If you can slide a £5 note between the insert and your visor, moisture will get in and you'll get a misted visor behind the pinlock insert. If that happens, you have to remove the insert and dry everything otherwise you will not be able to see where you're going. Make sure you test the seal is 100% round the whole pinlock insert. If you can slide the £5 note under the insert, adjust the pins securing the insert slightly

Good

Just thought I’d buy a spare pinlock, you never know what idiot (me) would almost ruin a brand new one. Lesson learned. Take it from me, simply clean it with mild soapy water and use a really clean no scratchy cloth. Other wise the new one is mint and Sportsbikeshop, excellent service as usual.

It's a Pinlock insert so when it's fitted correctly yes indeed it won't mist up...however I've yet to have one that didn't eventually either work loose or lift slightly allowing a misty patch to develop on the perimeter. Of course this maybe due to my ham fisted attempts to fit them. I have yet to test this one in anger in wet conditions, but the one this replaces did eventually mist as previously described. That said I'd still rather have it in place than not as it performs well more often than not. It's also a lot more convenient than remembering to apply and polish an anti fog solution every other ride.

Excellent product fitted by helpful shop

The old pinlock that came with the Shoei Neotec 3 eventually became too scratched to see through, so it was time to renew. Very easy to fit, I found it best to warm the visor with a hair dryer first to flatten it slightly, then it clipped straight in.
Crystal clear, although you have to be careful not to scratch it when cleaning the visor as its quite soft.

Quality product

How did I not know about these earlier?

They are a game changer for riding in the wet and cold. No more misty visor!

Everyone should be wearing them.

Quality at a good price
Although the product was initially out of stock, the SPORTSBIKESHOP kept us up to date all the way

Works as expected but too pricey for what it is. They also scratch far too easily and last no longer than 1.5 years.

Pinlock is the way to go! It makes all the difference to your visor
