Shoei Spectra Shield with Pinlock Pins CWR-1 Street Motorcycle Helmet Accessories - Blue - for RF-1200

If you have a Shoei RF1200. You need to get this shield. First of all, it looks amazing. It completely change the way your helmet looks. It will go from blah... to I will never take this shield of the helmet. Build quality-wise its very sturdy, well made. It has a new lip on the very top and Botton, that I am not a very big fan of, but it is for extra rigidness. Pinlock works great. Not an issue. Yes, it is chrome on the outside, nut if you compare it with the dark smoke it is lighter. However this is the only shield you will need. I mean you won't need to carry a clear one for night riding. During the day people can not se your face at all and it is dark enough to the point that if you are riding towards the sun you won't squint at all. During the night it is light enough that you have no visibility issues. I have a reflective stripe I put on the top inside lip of the helmet that at point black with flash a picture will show it as you can see in one of the pictures but that is the only way you can see inside during the day. I ride at night constantly with it. I even tossed out my clear shield.

Bought shield for my Shoei based in reviews & the type of reflective shield I wanted. The blue tint was exactly I was pooking for for my Shoei design! Love it

The blue mirror shading looks lighter in your hands than it does on the helmet. When mounted (Pinlock is super easy) on the helmet and on your head there is no light coming from behind the visor so the blue mirror looks much more mirrored. Blocks a decent amount of light so if you're after more light restriction go for the dark smoke visor. This one is a great compromise that will transition better as light goes down than the dark smoke visor.

I have both a clear Shoei shield, and the blue mirror Shoei shield. I bought a replacement because of what I thought to be a flaw in the original that came with my RF-1200. Both shields have a ripple effect that goes straight across the field of vision horizontally. The ripple is in the plastic, and not the pinlock. It's very annoying when riding at night with either shield. Blue mirror shield is really nice, blocks out the right amount of light during the day, yet is still light enough to use at night. Experiencing more fogging with the current pinlocks than I used to. Wish I could give it more stars, but the quality is not on par with Shoei products I've used in the past.

Easy on the Shoei 1200 and makes me look better than I am. Haven’t noticed any scratching, but I’m pretty protective of my brain bucket. I’m wearing prescription sunglasses underneath and it works great. I have not used it at night, but wouldn’t hesitate based on light levels through shield and sunglasses.
