Default Transition face shield

Had this custom done to my face shield so I would not need 2 face sheilds.

How fast does it go back to a clear lens when you go under an over pass, bridge, or go through a tunnel, that kind of thing? Otherwise I like it.

It goes clear quiker then it goes to dark. SO i would say about 10 seconds If that. But the only neat thing is it does not look that dark from the inside. it is not like a tinted visor that is hard to see out of when you hit a low light area. That is why near the end of the video you see me moving my head up. I did not think it was getting dark pretty sweet actually.

Looks good Mike. If they could make one that goes darker than that funky (silver halide crystal) gray-blue like most, I might be interested.
I had one of the photochromic shields from Scorpion, which worked pretty nice for awhile. It never really got DARK, though, which was a disappointment. It got maybe a light smoke, but not a dark dark. I'm not sure why this is so doggone difficult for a helmet-shield manufacturer to develop! So, when i got my Bell Star several months ago, I just went with the dark smoke, and wear safety glasses underneath when I'm going to be out after the sun goes down. Mike, give us a follow-up post at the end of the riding season to update us on the transition speed; still as quick.

that's a nice helmet mod you got there. I'm sure that sent you back a little to have your vizor do that.
