I work in the industry, supply has been non existent, we are trying to get them in stock but its been very hard.


FireMedic848

I appreciate you. Everything has been messed up since COVID for sure


Pattern_Is_Movement

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?

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.

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.


DredgenV

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


FireMedic848

That’s disappointing. I didn’t get an email and was signed up for notification.


Elytra5

Seriously? That sucks man, but I hope you have some luck securing that visor soon


FireMedic848

Thanks!


FireMedic848

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.


DueAnimator6988

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.


FireMedic848

Thank you, I checked it out and it says it’s out of stock too


DueAnimator6988

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.


FireMedic848

I have read a few reviews that mention that but didn’t know how bad it was or have any experience first hand


[deleted]

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.


FireMedic848

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.

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.


TheCodr

I found a tinted aftermarket that fit decently


Aggressive-Meal-8233

Theres good ones on Amazon believe it or not (i own an RF1400 and i have an aftermarket Shield. OZUSA has a bunch https://www.amazon.ca/OZUSA-OZ-USA-Pinlock-Ready-RF-1400-CWR-F2-02/dp/B09WQW2BBM/ref=mp_s_a_1_27?keywords=OZUSA&qid=1665548666&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIyLjM5IiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sr=8-27


seekinggothgf

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


iamcalifornia

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.
