FAQs

Which HJC helmets are compatible with these side plates?

These side plates are compatible with HJC helmets that use the HJ-20/20p face shield system, most notably the HJC RPHA 10 model.

Do these side plates come in colors other than green?

While this specific product is listed as Green, HJC may offer other color options for these side plates depending on availability and helmet models.

Can I install these myself?

Yes, these side plates are designed for user replacement. Basic mechanical aptitude and following the installation steps should be sufficient.

How long should these replacement side plates last?

With proper care and normal use, these durable plastic plates should last for several years. However, they may need replacement sooner if subjected to significant impact or stress.

What is the warranty on these replacement parts?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the time of purchase. Please refer to your purchase documentation for specific warranty details.

My visor won't stay open, is it the side plates?

A visor that won't stay open can be caused by worn side plates or issues with the visor's internal spring mechanism. Replacing the side plates is a good first step to troubleshoot this issue.

Troubleshooting

Side plates won't click into place

Ensure you are using the correct model plates for your helmet and face shield. Check for any debris in the helmet's mounting slots. Verify the face shield is properly aligned before attempting to attach the plates.

Visor is loose or rattles after installation

Re-check that the side plates are fully secured and properly seated. Ensure the face shield itself is correctly attached to the side plates and that no parts are bent or damaged.

Difficulty operating the visor after installation

Confirm that the side plates were installed correctly and are not obstructing the visor mechanism. Ensure the face shield is not binding against the helmet shell.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures proper fit and function for compatible HJC helmets.
  • Restores the visor's ability to open, close, and lock securely.
  • A cost-effective solution compared to replacing the entire helmet or visor mechanism.
  • Direct replacement simplifies the installation process.
  • Maintains the aesthetic integrity of the helmet with a color-matched option.

Cons

  • Only compatible with specific HJC helmet models (HJ-20/20p face shield systems).
  • Requires careful installation to avoid damaging the helmet or visor.
  • Sold as a pair, so a single broken plate means replacing both.
  • Color availability might be limited to specific options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • These side plates are specifically designed for HJC helmets that utilize the HJ-20/20p face shield. This includes models such as the RPHA 10.
  • Always verify your helmet model and the specific face shield type before purchasing.

Setup (Replacement):

  1. Remove Old Plates: Carefully detach the old side plates. This usually involves pressing a release tab or mechanism on the side of the helmet where the visor attaches.
  2. Clean Area: Clean the area around the visor pivot point on the helmet.
  3. Attach New Plates: Align the new side plates with the helmet's visor mounting points and gently push until they click into place. Ensure they are firmly secured.
  4. Test Visor: Attach the face shield and test its operation: opening, closing, and locking.

Care:

  • Clean the side plates regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic.
  • Periodically check the plates for any signs of wear or damage, especially after an impact or if the visor feels loose.
