Description
A photochromic visor darkens in bright sun and goes clear again as the light drops, so one visor covers the whole day — including the ride home. This one is cut for your Shoei.
Which helmets does this fit?
This photochromic visor is matched to these models:
The helmet model name is printed inside the chin bar, under the lining or on the strap label. If yours isn’t listed, check the visor finder — visors are model-specific and a part from a neighbouring model usually won’t clip in.
Which tint should I choose?
- Black Photochromic, Red Photochromic, Blue Photochromic — Darkens as the sun comes out and goes clear again as the light drops. One visor for a whole day, including the ride home.
Every tint listed here is made for this exact visor aperture, so whichever you pick it clips into the same fitting.
How do I fit it?
Open the visor fully, release the side mechanism on each side, lift the old visor away and clip the new one in until it clicks. It takes a couple of minutes and needs no tools. Peel the protective film off both sides before your first ride.
Is this legal on the road?
What decides it is the approval marking on the individual visor — a BS 4110 grade with an approved certification mark, or an ECE 22.05 approval — not the tint name. These are unbranded aftermarket visors and we cannot confirm the marking on any individual item, so we do not offer them as authorised for road use. Check the marking on the visor you receive. Dark smoke, mirrored and iridium finishes transmit too little light to be legal for road use in the UK, and are a bad idea at night whatever the local rule says — treat them as off-road, track and closed-course daytime choices. This is general guidance, not legal advice — check what applies where you ride.

it’s just as the description says and works well on my shoei nxr2 helmet
The shield is cleaner than expected and the packaging was good too. Compared with the genuine shield it is a bit thinner, but it fastens neatly and the pinlock fits well. There are fine vertical scratches on the pinlock, but not enough to be a problem. The genuine one is better quality, but since the price is one tenth I think it is good to buy here often and swap them out.
Fits the helmet easily, feels good
Visor fits well haven’t put it in the sun yet
good quality , not 100% mirror but not bad at all
Best value for money. I cannot speak to durability, but there is no distortion. It is the same as the aftermarket mirror shield sold on Amazon, and cheaper than Amazon and good.
Item as described. I thought the visor would be clear when not dark, but it has a light blue tint. However it is photochromic and works well. Quality is very good and it fits the Shoei X-15 helmet very well. My only wish is to be able to speak to the seller directly; that would make the after-purchase experience more desirable than talking to an AI bot telling me to return the item straight away.
Pretty darn good for 30% of the price of the original shoei brand. Let’s see how long the plastics stay clear
I recommend this product 100%. RF1400. Very good quality and fits perfectly. Thanks to the seller.
Installed on the X-fifteen. No problems at all. Shipping was fast too.
Fits the z8 perfectly, and the design is pretty too, nice nice
I bought the blue photochromic shield for the SHOEI Z-8. Attaching the shield and opening/closing and locking are no problem. My impression of the photochromic effect is that it doesn’t darken as much as I expected. Still, considering the price, I’m glad I bought it.
Good!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, delivery is fast!!! It arrived in 6 days!! People in Japan please buy it too!! The value is way too good! No problems at all with size and such! No trouble installing it either!
Looks good, and also feels like the original. The fit on the X-SPR pro and the function of the photochromic effect are absolutely flawless. I can't report yet on durability and cleaning, but at first glance this is a sensational value for money.
Fits great. Highly recommended.
