Review: Why can't we buy these locally?! - This is by all indicators a legit Shoei product: comes in a Shoei bag and looks identical to the one that came with the helmet. Installed easily on my Neotec and I love it! Neotec's drop-down visor is great but doesn't have as full a coverage as this, and it interferes with internal airflow. I've also used the drop-down in combination with this when riding directly into the sun and it saved me from squinting even lightly; the combo is probably too dark for regular riding tho. This is a perfect visor for riding in daylight, but if you ride at night then be ready to swap back the original clear visor as this is likely too dark for even dusk, let alone night time riding conditions.
Review: Great shield that fits perfect on helmet - Great shield that fits perfect on helmet. I was told by sales person where I bought helmet that there was no dark shield made for this helmet. When I looked on the internet I found an article that said the shields are made but they come direct from Japan not made in USA. Then I looked on desertcart and there it was. Got it in a few days and it fit perfect.
