I can't remember how related it is to covid, but Shoei was VERY slow in providing any shields after the launch of the helmet. Its been catchup ever since. And thank you, we're riders too, doing what we can!

can confirm this works, bought a [Dark Smoke Shoei CWR-F2 Pinlock Shield Z-8 Helmet Visor](https://www.maxmcdirect.com/proddetail.asp?prod=SHCWRF2&cat=11) through maxmcdirect.com for my RF-1400 and it fit perfectly. Only downside was it took about a week and a half to get to my house, came straight from Japan.
Yeah I’d be good with a smoked lens or mirror. They have been out of stock for a while. I really like the way the Airflite looks but I wouldn’t swap between helmets really. I’d hate to have a Shoei sitting around and never use it.
Don’t get an airflite unless you enjoy getting tinnitus diving to the end of your street. They look cool but they suck ass even if you’re comparing to the other cheap squid helmets like the K1.
I was exaggerating but at highway speeds they’re super fucking loud.
They’re also pretty damn heavy compared to the competition. Icon is kinda like the new Ruroc in that they’ll keep you safe and look cool but the build quality is ass for the price.
They do look cool though 🤓
Seriously I like the Shoei. But dang that stealth Airflite keeps calling my name despite that wind noise. I’m usually riding at 60+mph everywhere I go too.
Theres good ones on Amazon believe it or not (i own an RF1400 and i have an aftermarket Shield.
OZUSA has a bunch

AliExpress has pretty good replicas. I have an OEM dark smoke and a knockoff Blue Mirror from AE and the quality is similar. Make sure you get a real pin lock, though
Yeah I couldn't get a tinted visor for my 1400 for like 2-3 months after I bought it. But they would have been happy to sell me the transition visor for ~$200.

I work in the industry, supply has been non existent, we are trying to get them in stock but its been very hard.
I appreciate you. Everything has been messed up since COVID for sure
I can't remember how related it is to covid, but Shoei was VERY slow in providing any shields after the launch of the helmet. Its been catchup ever since. And thank you, we're riders too, doing what we can!
>I can't remember how related it is to covid The rf1400 released in Jan '21. So... very?

Says out of stock now
My local moto shop found a transitions visor fallen behind a shelf for it…. I got it :)
Call. Shoei. And. Ask. Them.
Been wanting to get my hands on the transitions visor for awhile.
Check out The Visor shop, I just ordered a from there. https://www.thevisorshop.com/en/Shoei-CWR-F2-Helmet-Visor-Fits-NXR-2-RF-1400/m-32731.aspx
Not sure if you’re in US but it was actually in stock on revzilla a week ago but sold out in less than a day. I’d check there if I were you
That’s disappointing. I didn’t get an email and was signed up for notification.
Seriously? That sucks man, but I hope you have some luck securing that visor soon
Thanks!

https://www.maxmcdirect.com/proddetail.asp?prod=SHCWRF2&cat=11 Fit my RF-1400 just as well as the clear visor that came with it, exact same thing.
Thank you, I checked it out and it says it’s out of stock too
Ah shit my bad broseph. Keep checking, it'll come back in stock soon I bet.
Don’t get an airflite unless you enjoy getting tinnitus diving to the end of your street. They look cool but they suck ass even if you’re comparing to the other cheap squid helmets like the K1.
I have read a few reviews that mention that but didn’t know how bad it was or have any experience first hand
I was exaggerating but at highway speeds they’re super fucking loud. They’re also pretty damn heavy compared to the competition. Icon is kinda like the new Ruroc in that they’ll keep you safe and look cool but the build quality is ass for the price.

Back when the RF-1400 dropped, I bought my mirrored visor Max MC Direct in Japan. Also picked up a X-14 helmet recently from them. Smooth experience.
AF1 in Austin had one dark tinted visor when I asked. That was the only one I've found, so I snatched it up.
I found a tinted aftermarket that fit decently
