Cheers man, I looked at the instructions twice...still couldn’t make sense of it. They wrote it way more complex than you made it, so thanks heaps.

[@DCyclemoto]

You’re very welcome!

[@kyfy24]

To the point. Helpful. No fluff no bs. Great video and thanks for the help.

[@SinCityRick]

Thanks much more concise than the Shoei supplied instructions!

[@DCyclemoto]

No problem!

[@Biker_Johnny86]

Awesome man! Thank you.. just ordered me a shoei helmet. Cant wait! 🤩

[@CharlieOmega]

I would always ride without the pin lock and my visor would fog up. This pin lock system is a must.

[@pd6569]

I just about to install my evo on my shoei neotec 2; thank you for the video, it is very helpful. Be and ride safe.

[@motomattman1878]

Pin Lock inserts are a must have in the cold or chilly weather!

[@MADLITS1K]

Thanks for making it super simple and getting to the point, just put it on my shoei x14 👍

[@razzrasmussen5773]

I now have a Shoei helmet. Viewing video was helpful. Thanks brother. Hooah

[@DCyclemoto]

Heck yeah!!

[@RussOasis]

Thanks. Easy peasy. You made it simple.

[@DCyclemoto]

For sure!

[@drjones694]

Thank you short and sweet and to the point

[@DCyclemoto]

DrJones694 You’re very welcome! And I have had zero fogging since install. Great product!

[@GreatEgret]

"Looks like an 80s road map" 🤣 Nice job on the Darth Vader sound effect. I had some issues with my pin lock fogging up in colder temps and rain in Texas and Oklahoma, but worked fine in warmer temps. A good cleaning of shield helped out.

[@DCyclemoto]

That’s how I breathe, bruh! 😆 It will get the real test come ride time! Maybe I’ll do a riding review then.

[@bcbsilverhawk8426]

Ordered this exact same helmet last night. Looking forward to giving it a go. Take care.

[@DCyclemoto]

It's a good one!

[@TrashPanda5150]

Love the pinlock shield, I don't know how anyone can ride without it. If anyone has trouble with the seal I think the pins can be adjusted slightly to help that. Can't wait for spring! The temp here in central Iowa is 1, lol. I'm tired of it!

[@DCyclemoto]

TrashPanda 365 #wintersucks Thanks for sharing!🤘🏻

[@chrism7249]

Thanks for the reminder as I've got my Shoei nxr2 arriving today and I had forgot how I fitted the last pin lock in my current Shoei 😅

[@TheGearedRaven72]

Very professional. Glad it worked as expected. Thanks for sharing

[@maverick1685]

Thank you, I new there was a correct way.

[@davidherringgo]

Thanks for the video instruction on installing the pin lock . I just hope I don't see those little pins on the regular shield in my peripheral vision .

[@DirtyDeez]

Good video for this time of year D

[@DCyclemoto]

Dirty Deez Any video will do in this time of winter suckage. #wintersucks

[@johneichorst3134]

I've got one on my Hornet X2 Dual-Sport helmet. Super happy with the lid and the pinlock. I ride a lot in cold weather.

[@DCyclemoto]

JOHN EICHORST It did well for me just this past Sunday on a 60° day!

[@michaillouvranos293]

I like the Darth Vader effect!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jimweagant8920]

I have 2 pinlock shields on both of my helmets and they work great

[@poppysadventures2020]

Let’s go Pens. I just got SHOEI RF-1400 and will be installing my pinlock today as well.

[@DCyclemoto]

That was a spanking!

[@SurfnPics]

Thanks for the simple clear instructions, though there are 2-3 warning panels in the Pinlock instructions recommending you don't install it with a tinted lens due to the loss of visibility

[@DCyclemoto]

Its pretty much a clear, so visibility isn’t an issue.

[@RHaidar-PJ]

Love your video. Made it so easy!

[@AWSKAKER77]

I came to make sure I could flatten it out that much before installing.

[@blazer90815]

Thanks bro….. the directions were a bit long winded. Fits perfect.

[@DCyclemoto]

Awesome!

[@leonardschannel]

Thanks

[@niknoks7638]

Thank god for KZbin and people like you.....who needs an instruction manual anymore? thanks for sharing 👍

[@DCyclemoto]

Niknoks I know right? Glad it was helpful!

[@blujack100]

I got the same helmet with the transitions shield. I wear transitions glasses too. Should be a good combination I hope.

[@DCyclemoto]

will s Nice! The transition shield would be handy indeed.

[@nigelgibson2407]

Hi. I have a Shoei installed with a Pinlock and definitely appreciate it's anti-fogging capabilities. I live in the UK where it rains a LOT. When cleaning the helmet it looked like there was a bead of sealant around the pinlock. Is this needed or helpful? I have an added issue with fogging in that I wear glasses so I need to ensure those don't fog up instead. Love the helmets though and have headphones installed for phone, and Sat Nav.

[@vlodico]

Very Helpful, thanks

[@DCyclemoto]

You are welcome!

[@BoDean52]

Thanks for sharing this...I just got my hands on that helmet at the Cleveland Bike Show and decided to order. Is the dark shield still ok with regular or sunglasses?

[@DCyclemoto]

Bo Dean 52 I can wear eye glasses with it but always wear contacts when I ride. It’s does well in the sun, so no need for sunglasses with it, I think.

[@matthewljr0809]

I opened the package cause I didn’t know what it was, do you think I can keep it outside the package for a month until my tinted visor arrives without it losing its ability to stick?

[@Gener1KGaming]

Great video. Do you mind if I ask which GoPro pieces you're using? I'm picking up a GT-Air 2 and have been considering strapping the GoPro in for some scenic rides but only have the most basic mounts.

[@DCyclemoto]

generiKGaming I am using the Hero 5 Session camera. For helmet mounting, I bought these pieces: TOZ TZN-S03 Universal Rotary Extension Arm Mount Set for Gopro Hero 4 3 3+ 2 1, GoPro Accessories Kit Extension Arm Adapter Pivot Arm Thumbscrew www.amazon.com/dp/B00PRIWJAY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EdfVCbHJ37HD4

[@TheDennzio]

easy peasy thanks...I'm too lazy to read instructions lol

[@DCyclemoto]

Me too especially when the English version is hard to find.

[@plouiswags1659]

I wonder why they just aren't pre installed? Seems silly not to utilize such a great feature.

[@guanqiaowang7586]

They are illegal at night apparently

[@joevento8514]

should it just remain on all the time or just when needed

[@DCyclemoto]

I leave it in. They don’t work forever unfortunately.

[@mitchelllegge5813]

thanks very much!

[@RoadRashHD]

I wish i had a pin lock on my helmet. Mine always fogs up on me in the morning going to work,i have to leave it open just a crack to prevent fogging,and i still get it happening

Jay D There is a gopro mount and a Sena Bluetooth Comm system on the left side.

[@votpavel]

I have a question,i always had the pinlock in my helmet and its good and all that but i notice its becomes slightly unclear compare to a visor without a pinlock,also the edges of the pinlock do get in my way when looking on the road sometimes.Is it possible to ride most hot summer without one or does it still fogs up the helmet?

[@DCyclemoto]

RE-L Mayer Should be ok to ride without it in summer. Cooler mornings might have fogging! This will be my first summer with it in, though.

[@votpavel]

@@DCyclemoto ahh ok,i just got a new helmet and didnt want to use brand new pinlock that came with it,if it works i will just use my old helmet in the winter to keep this one pinlock free

[@ralphevansjr-abogado]

hahahaha sounds like Darth Vader

[@DCyclemoto]

Nice touch, I thought!😂

[@markwhatley9955]

I’m running a Pinlock with my Shoeii Neotech II and have fogging issues. It appears to be installed correctly. Thoughts and ideas?

[@DCyclemoto]

Did you clean the visor?

[@AManWhoNoticesThings]

I have the clear shield my Shoei came with and bought a chrome tinted one. Which one would it be better to put the pinlock on?

[@DCyclemoto]

Whichever one u will wear more often, especially in cold temps

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

LOL the Vader sound effect. Inb4 Disney copyright strikes your channel.

[@DCyclemoto]

FranBunnyFFXII haha! Last minute idea I thought you all might like.

[@TheFluzx]

hey there, just installed my pinlock on my dark smoke visor. i have some kind of mirror effect though. i can see my own eyes. is this common? or did i do something wrong?

[@DCyclemoto]

You installed the correct way, right?

[@TheFluzx]

@@DCyclemoto yeah did it like the video. maybe i just need to get used to it a bit!

Your not supposed to install the Pinlock on a tinted visor

[@juicer404]

i just wrecked a helmet, can i use pinlock on my new shoei visor from old visor

[@DCyclemoto]

Good question. I would ask Shoei on that one.

[@roadwarrior8560]

of course you can ffs

[@PigeonMan5000]

I cannot get the pinlock installed on my SHOEI RF-1400. I feel like I have to break the face shield in half just to get that fucker in there....

[@DCyclemoto]

It almost feels like u are going to break in during install. Any luck?

[@Jeff82556]

Now all we've gotta learn FIRST: how to remove the helmet shield and then learn how to reinstall the helmet shield - since you couldn't show us either - except for reinstalling at warp 9.9 speed. Guess what my next KZbin search will be .........

[@DCyclemoto]

Dude the helmet comes with a manual. Its too easy for a video, anyway.

Where is the silicon

[@DCyclemoto]

Good question! Damn Kardashians probably took it.
