Product Information
Full details
The HJC Pinlock 70 MaxVision Dark Lens HJ-43 is designed for adult unisex riders seeking enhanced visibility and comfort in varying light conditions. Its key benefit is reducing glare and eye strain, especially during bright daylight rides. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility with the HJ-43 visor found on HJC F31 helmets. This Pinlock insert integrates seamlessly with the compatible visor to provide a fog-resistant and glare-reducing shield.

FAQs
What helmets is the HJC HJ-43 visor compatible with?
The HJC HJ-43 visor is specifically designed for HJC F31 helmet models. Always confirm your helmet's visor model.
Can I use this dark tint Pinlock in low light conditions?
While the dark tint is ideal for bright sunlight, it may reduce visibility in very low light conditions. For nighttime or heavily shaded areas, you may need to switch to a clear Pinlock insert or remove the tinted one.
How do I clean the dark tint Pinlock insert?
Clean the Pinlock insert with a soft, damp cloth only. Avoid using any chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as they can damage the lens and its coatings.
Is the dark tint Pinlock a replacement for the main visor?
No, the Pinlock insert is an accessory that attaches to the inside of a compatible main visor. It is not a standalone visor.
What is the main benefit of a Pinlock system?
The primary benefit of a Pinlock system is its ability to create a sealed air pocket that prevents the visor from fogging up, significantly improving visibility in various weather conditions.
How do I know if my HJC helmet has the HJ-43 visor?
You can usually find the visor model number (e.g., HJ-43) printed on the visor itself, often near the pivot points or on the edge. Consult your helmet's user manual for confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Pinlock insert does not seal properly
Ensure the visor is clean and dry. Verify that the Pinlock is correctly seated on the visor's pins and that the silicone seal is continuous without gaps.
Fogging still occurs despite Pinlock installation
Check that the Pinlock insert is the correct model for the visor and that it is securely fitted. Ensure the silicone seal is intact and not damaged. Minor fogging might occur at extreme temperature differentials.
Difficulty installing the Pinlock
Make sure you are aligning the Pinlock correctly with the visor's pins. Apply gentle, even pressure. If resistance is too high, re-check alignment and ensure no debris is obstructing the pins or the Pinlock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This Pinlock insert is specifically designed for the HJC HJ-43 visor. Ensure your HJC helmet (model F31) is equipped with the HJ-43 visor before purchasing. Check your helmet's manual or the visor itself for the HJ-43 designation.
Installation:
- Ensure the HJ-43 visor is clean and dry.
- Locate the small pins on the edge of the visor.
- Align the Pinlock insert's silicone seal with the edge of the visor.
- Gently press the Pinlock insert onto the pins, ensuring it clicks into place.
- Verify that the silicone seal creates a tight, continuous barrier around the entire edge of the Pinlock.
Care:
- Clean the Pinlock insert using only a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the anti-fog coating.
- Do not use the Pinlock insert if it is scratched or damaged, as this can impair vision.
- Store the Pinlock insert in a safe place when not in use to prevent damage.
