It's always interesting when you have a 5 sight span and you have to ride hugging the centerline because its the only way you can see where the road goes

Do it at about 5 am down a deer infested road. You just pray that it's not your turn and that if a dumb ass comes flying up behind you that he can stop in time and that all the little bambies are still sleeping.

Not to mention having to turn your head side to side every other minute to clear the moisture off the visor!

That's the part I hate. Then I have to try and look through where the moisture ran off.

will rainX work on a plastic visor.? That might be better than the method above or the good old finger wiper:-)
Keeps the water off glass great no turning the cage side to side.

No, It will slowly eat through the faceshield. Have to stick with the trusted finger wipe method.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I just bought it from Monstermash, and Jesus and Lu graciously offered to ride it down from Boston for me  ;D

We had a track day Sunday, the track is about 50 minutes from my place. 50 minutes of fog. Thick as hell fog. I was soaked by the time I got to the track. The finger visor wiper the entire way.  >:( I was doing 10 mph below the speed limit since there was no visibility.

Yep - the denatured alcohol in RainX is bad for plastics. In most applications it doesnt' really matter, but if it's something that needs to be impact resistant, it's no good.  Also, it can eat  through some of the lens coatings right away.  I killed the scratch resistant coating on a Panitball lens by getting some rubbing alcohol on it - ate the stuff right off.

Be safe you too - protect the Platypus!
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.
