Just found out by accident????? WTF?
OK, we gotta know, what were you doing that required KY Jelly and Safety glasses, and why or why was it an accident!

I've seen some ugly people, I've done some strange things in my life,
but KY and Safety Glasses???

Oh, as for the original question, I carry a flip front full face on long trips for that ( an other) reasons...and NO! I don't use KY Jelly on the face shield

If I get caught out in the rain, well a bandana wrapped around the face helps the rain sting and a pair of clear safety glasses ( oh crap!)
still no KY Jelly.....

thx - tin

Harley-Davidson Face Shield- 98062-00V
Just checked the MoCo's website and they show part #98068-02VR for the Trespasser half helmets. They come in clear and smoke.

I used something similar before I purchased the Scorpion EXO100 with the retractable shield.

Heres a link to the shield. Have a safe trip.

OK guys, The BY ACCIDENT thing happend a couple weeks ago. I posted about it when the landlords cat decided to make a pin cushion out of my seat, speaker pods and backrest. Another person told me to use KY jelley on the seat at night. IT WORKED ! That cat won't come close to the bike. It don't like the taste of the stuff on it's paws. I put the rest of the jar of KY in the saddle bag for another day, well it's hotter then heck here and it melted and ran out onto everything. So when I cleaned of my safetyglasses the next day, it rained, I found this out by accident. Now you know the rest of the story. PH.

my wife used to use the tresspasser helmet and this is the face shield she used. worked okay for her in the rain, but i would still use a bandanna for the lower part of your face. rain stings!
