    Need to find a tinted helmet shield

    I have an AFX full face helmet. It's not bad, but sometimes I forget my sunglasses and ride into the sunset. Anyone know where I can get a tinted face shield for an AFX helmet? The model is an FX-10 if that helps.

    I ordered one for my HJC from newenough.com

      Dennis Kirk stocks AFX parts, unless that helmet is 10 years old or something.



      Of course, their web site is a hateful cluster(you-know-what), so you may need to look it up in one of their printed catalogs.

        Can't answer the question, but methinks once you get a tinted shield you'll never go back, in the daytime anyway. Go for a long ride with others without one and see who has pink, sunburned cheeks at the end of the day and who doesn't.

          OK, this is how bored I am... I have here the DK catalog, and they do indeed have a selection of shields and parts for the FX-10.

          Part # 32-3212 is a smoke shield

            IMHO tinted is good but mirrored is better.
            My daily commute is into the sun both ways. I tried a smoked/tinted visor and was ok, but by far the best for into the sun riding was a mirrored visor (which also had a light tint as well).
            Cheers

              OK, fine they have mirrored shields in several hues as well...

              Gold 32-3644
              Silver 32-3645
              Blue 32-4574
              Green 32-4575
              Clear Mirrored 32-4038

              There's also a smoke gradient (32-5556) and what I'm sure is a fetching pink gradient (32-5795).

                Thanks a lot. I know the mirrored shields cost more, but they look so much cooler. Now I can be like the Stig.
