HJC Pinlock Insert - R-PHA-11 /  R-PHA-70

Full vision size and perfect fit

Fits the supplied visor well, preventing you fogging up. Shame we can't do same for our glasses, eh?

Excellent, as expected

Works reasonably well, did have to replace the first one as it fogged up really easily. Second one still does but isn't as bad. Won't buy again, but does the job half the time.

Quick and smooth delivery time, of excellent quality.

Had to replace 2 of these as the silicone bead had flat spot.
3rd replacement still has a slight flat spot but seems okay.
Can't fault SBS though, not there fault.

Been using pinloc inserts for years as I ride all year round with early morning starts. I use the the Max 120 type inserts and they can get overwhelmed if conditions are really damp but they work well for the most part in keeping condensation at bay.

I have three issues with the inserts. Firstly I've had quite a few arrive damaged but it's not transit damage, its manufacturing defects.. Either the lens has a mark on it or the silicone strip that acts as a seal has a flat spot on it so you don't get a sound seal where the flat spot is. So not a perfect manufacturing process.

The second thing is they get scratched and damaged really, really easily. Never wipe with a cloth, never put your gloves in your helmet and avoid touching them as much as possible. The rate at which they become damaged is annoying.

Finally, they are quite costly for what they are and how long they last.. After my recent one arrived damaged I'm now looking at the more generic ones that are adhesive. They are significantly cheaper.

They work well but come with some significant ssues.

I replace these twice a year along with the visor. Quick and easy, speedy delivery as always from SBS

During the autumn and winter they are invaluable, keeps your visor clear no matter what the weather throws at you.

Easy to fit as long as you can remove the visor from the helmet.

Not perfect, they don't last forever the seal eventually goes and the misting creeps in, you can tighten up the small screw but this is just a temporary fix, they can also scratch easy, despite this I won't have a helmet without one.

Sportsbikeshop has the cheapest prices and it's usual exceptional service

Fits my HJC helmet like a glove, it's large but fits well, so you don't see the usual clear band round the pin lock.
The anti-fog works even in rain and cold

Great product, had an issue with the self tinting pinlock replaced quickly and supplied new clear pinlock with no issues as usual.

Works extremely well. Larger than other pinlocks I've used, it fills most of the visor giving improved anti-fogging capability. Good piece of kit. Excellent service.

I bought the HJC RPHA-11 because it was on special offer, excellent helmet, very quiet and light to wear but I should have gone for the 70 with its drop down sunsvisor. I looked to see if I could find a transitions visor but they don't make one, I've been spoilt by the Bell Race Star helmet. Then I saw that pinlock make a transitions insert for the standard visor, it changes from light to darker depending on light conditions, but unfortunately it doesn't go dark enough for me, even fitted to the tinted visor that the helmet came with, not dark enough, I know I could buy a dark visor but I don'tlike carrying a visor around with me. Can't fault the quality from pinlock and the service from SBS was as always, spot on

Standard Pinlock visor which are designed to prevent misting which they are extremely good at, I choice Sportsbike shop for their first class service & customer care policy.

Rapid delivery as always.

Wow just wow, I ride in all weathers and my visor has been clear always. Such a great bit of kit I'm going to buy another so I can keep them all in my visors, save changing them out.
