Sim'lar thing been around for ages. They work great but vibrate like crazy if damaged.

I seem to recall a fully rotating visor in the seventies? It's quite possible I dreamt this tho. If so, I need to get down the patent office pronto.

I'm old enough to remember them. Never had one, but heard that, above a certain speed, the wind pressure forced it back against your face and it stalled.

That and looking supremely uncool meant I was never tempted. And I'm still not tempted...

This gets worse by the minute. Who on earth paid nearly 50 bob for an anodised Cullender to strap onto their fizzog. Christs sake, this confirms that after market parts really SUCK. :lol:
