It's almost impossible to put on tint unless you do it for a living, do to the curve of the shield. I tried it and had to use pieces, it looked like crap. So I bought a tinted shield. Becareful ..it's $45 at the stealer and only $15 online

I think fog city makes a add on sun block film but I hear there is some distortion at night. I have a stip of sunvisor tint for the top of the shield, I havent put it on yet but my buddy has one and says he can get by w/o sunglasses in the daytime. Check them out at 1-888-337-4786 or www.helmetsunblocker.com

I don't know of anyone who has tinted a helmet visor. I'd keep looking for one, or modify one to fit. Send an email to the helmet mfr.

You can also try the spray tint, I think it's called nightshades.
