FAQs
Can I use the N3 lens on a Nolan N104?
No, the N3 Pinlock lens is specifically shaped for the N86 and N85 models only and will not fit other helmets correctly.
How often should I clean the Pinlock lens?
Clean it whenever visibility is impaired by dust or debris, using only water and a soft cloth to protect the specialized surface.
Does the lens block sunlight?
The standard N3 Pinlock lens is clear. If you require sun protection, you should use the helmet's internal sun visor in combination with the lens.
Can I install the lens if my visor is already scratched?
While it can be installed, deep scratches on the visor may prevent the Pinlock silicone seal from forming an airtight vacuum, which will cause fogging.
Is the Pinlock lens permanent?
No, it is a removable insert. It can be detached for thorough cleaning of both the lens and the interior side of the outer visor.
Troubleshooting
Fogging occurs between the lens and visor
The lens is not seated correctly or the silicone seal is damaged. Remove the lens, clean the area, and reinstall to ensure a tighter seal against the visor.
Lens moves or rattles inside the visor
Check that the eccentric pins on the visor are rotated to the correct position to add tension, securing the lens firmly in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility is limited strictly to the Nolan N86 and N85 helmet visors. To install, gently flex the outer visor and seat the Pinlock lens firmly against the pre-installed pins. Ensure the silicone seal of the lens is in full, even contact with the visor surface. For care, use only a soft, damp microfiber cloth and mild soap if necessary. Never use chemical cleaners, window sprays, or abrasive paper towels, as these can damage the anti-fog coating and clarity of the lens.
