Really you have a few options
1) full face helmet
2) goggles
3) 3/4 helmet
4) Install a whimpshield
5) ride faster (most effictive, helps with full face, 3/4 helmets, goggles, and whimpshields also).

Time in the saddle! The more you ride in the rain the less of a hassle it becomes,unless it's a cold rain.Having a windshield makes it a little easier on the face and seeing where your going.

I use plexus on my windshield and clear glasses, as well as my sunglasses, seems to make a big difference for sure. Water beads up and rolls right off...if it gets too bad, I pull into a gas station and wait it out.....

Follow a semi truck....and hope that he knows where the road is. That is the strategy I used when driving from Silverton CO to Durango in a downpour one time. Had a windshield but no wipers....how come they dont make wipers for HD windshields???? Tommy

spit on em rub it around.. it'll keep em from fogging up and the water will bead off better. Not a lugee (sp) just saliva. Ride faster.. I know most people slow down, I ride fast enough , rain being a problem with vision goes away. I wear goggles over my RX glasses. I spit on the goggles so they won't fog and the rain runs off. I don't have any problems riding in the rain .. I ride to work every day rain or shine.
