It seems that would be easy enough to make a couple of little clips to slide in under the windshield seam with a rubber springy clip that allow a guy to hold a spare visor, but are any of these available commercially?

I dont think so. Loosing a visor would suck. They have tearoffs for that reason though. And i just wear sunglasses because i often ride until the sun goes down and i can jsut take them out.

get an extra set of your helmet's mounting hardware if applicable and find a place to mount them w/ dimensions similar to your helmet.  that should be  more secure than a clip or pocket depending on the system your helmet uses.  I've had this idea for a while and two helmets latter still haven't done it.

Me too, although i could use a brighter headlight bulb on the undivided highway and back roads I use to get home.  +1 on the sunglasses too.  I use them a lot even when riding with the smoked dark smoke visor.  That being said, the other night I was driving home and it was a little foggy, as well as real dark.  There were some lights in the distance that kind of lost my attention for a bit, and when I noticed them a bit, I had a small panic attack for a second before realizing it was a not a car approaching in my lane out of thin air.  No I was not on drugs or drinking, but I was a little tired.  With the visor up it was a different story, but it was windy with it open.  Made me think I'm pressing my luck without a brighter bulb, properly aimed headlight and/or a clear visor at night.

My wife made me a sling 'holster' for what ever shield I am not wearing.  It just goes under my jacket, around my neck, and under my armpit, and the shield has a similar contour to my rib cage.  I am sure they are available commercially as well.

I've seen something similar in the swag section on one of the Motorcycle rags...

I personally ride with a Momo helmet that's open faced when I think it'll be dark when I leave, so I can wear sunglasses in and goggles home.  I get really bad fogging inside my helmet so sunglasses under a clear visor is not an option.

Some jackets have a spare visor pocket built in, for example the Joe Rocket Phoenix 4.0 waytogo

I have the first version of that jacket with perf leather shoulders/outer arms, and the only bad thing is the back protector acts like a parachute trapping air when you're riding with any speed.  I took mine off with the intention of drilling holes into it so it can be usable...

The visor hugs your torso, and the jacket fits tight so I don't really see how it would.  Plus, it is flexible plastic with rounded edges.  I am not worried about it.

kind of like this, but it has a sling that goes around my shoulder, so it sits up under my armpit
