Product Information
Full details
The Nolan Pinlock Lens is an essential safety accessory for N86 and N85 helmet owners who frequently ride in cold, humid, or rainy conditions. By creating a double-glaze effect, it provides a consistent, fog-free field of vision, which significantly improves safety during low-visibility commutes. While it offers superior clarity, riders should note that the lens requires precise initial installation to ensure the silicone seal is airtight against the visor surface.

FAQs
Will this lens fit an N43 helmet?
No, this specific lens is engineered exclusively for the Nolan N86 and N85 models. Please refer to the N43-compatible lens options for other helmet types.
How do I know if the seal is tight enough?
You can perform a visual check by looking at the visor from the outside; you should see a consistent line where the silicone seal meets the visor. There should be no gaps.
Can I use this lens at night?
Yes, this lens is transparent and intended for all-day use, providing clear visibility in both daylight and nighttime conditions.
How often should I clean the Pinlock lens?
Clean it only when necessary using soft materials. Excessive handling or cleaning increases the risk of scratching the delicate inner surface.
What should I do if the lens gets scratched?
If the scratch is within your direct line of sight, it is recommended to replace the lens, as scratches can cause light refraction that may distract the rider.
Troubleshooting
Lens is still fogging up
Check that the silicone seal is making full, airtight contact with the visor; you may need to adjust the eccentric pins to increase tension.
Lens feels loose or rattles
Ensure the lens is properly seated under the pins and the pins are rotated to provide maximum tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first remove the outer visor from your Nolan N86 or N85 helmet. Gently flex the visor slightly to allow the Pinlock lens to sit into the recessed area, ensuring the silicone seal faces the visor. Secure the lens under the tension pins on both sides of the visor. For maintenance, never use chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges. Use only lukewarm water and a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth to clean both the visor and the lens. If the lens is removed for cleaning, always store it in a clean, dust-free environment to prevent debris from sticking to the silicone seal.
