FAQs
What HJC helmets is this Pinlock compatible with?
This HJC Pinlock 120 MaxVision Clear Lens (DKS468) is compatible with helmets using the HJ-40 visor (like the HJC RPHA 71) and helmets using the XD16 visor (like the HJC C80).
How does a Pinlock prevent fogging?
A Pinlock insert creates a sealed air gap between itself and the main helmet visor. This trapped air acts as an insulator, preventing the temperature difference that causes condensation and fogging on the inner surface of the visor.
Can I install the Pinlock myself?
Yes, installation is designed to be straightforward. It involves attaching the insert to small retaining pins located on the inside of your helmet's main visor.
How do I clean the Pinlock insert?
Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or dry wiping, which can damage the fog-resistant coating.
Will this Pinlock affect my field of vision?
No, the MaxVision design is intended to provide an expanded field of vision, enhancing awareness rather than restricting it.
What is the difference between a Pinlock 30 and Pinlock 120?
Pinlock 120 is considered a higher performance standard, offering superior fog resistance compared to the Pinlock 30. It's designed for more demanding conditions.
Troubleshooting
Pinlock insert not fitting correctly
Double-check that you have the correct Pinlock model (DKS468) for your specific HJC helmet visor (HJ-40 or XD16). Ensure the main visor is properly removed and the Pinlock is aligned with the retaining pins.
Persistent fogging or condensation
Verify that the Pinlock insert is securely seated on the retaining pins and creating a proper seal against the main visor. Ensure the small silicone seal on the Pinlock is clean and intact. Check that the helmet is adequately ventilated.
Scratches on the Pinlock lens
Avoid cleaning the Pinlock with dry cloths or abrasive materials. Use only soft, damp cloths and mild cleaners. Deep scratches may require replacement of the Pinlock insert.

- Designed for a precise fit on compatible HJC helmets.
- Maintains clear vision in a wide range of weather conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
- This Pinlock insert is specifically designed for the HJC HJ-40 visor, compatible with HJC RPHA 71 helmets.
- It also fits the HJC XD16 visor used on HJC C80 helmets.
- Verify your helmet model and visor type before purchasing to ensure correct fitment. The insert will not fit other visor types.
Setup (Installation):
- Remove your helmet's main visor from the helmet.
- Ensure the inside surface of the main visor and the Pinlock insert are clean and dry.
- Locate the small retaining pins on the main visor. These are used to secure the Pinlock.
- Align the Pinlock insert with these retaining pins. The edge of the Pinlock should sit just inside the visor's rubber seal.
- Gently push the Pinlock insert onto the retaining pins until it clicks or feels secure.
- Reattach the main visor (with the Pinlock installed) to the helmet.
Care:
- Clean the Pinlock insert regularly using a soft, damp cloth or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for helmet visors or Pinlocks. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the insert's fog-resistant properties.
- Avoid using dry cloths, as this can scratch the surface.
- Ensure the seal between the Pinlock and the main visor remains free of debris.
