Turbo Visors


 They were advertised by Jim Redman,he was a multi world champion,from Rhodesia,but British born,

Jim put Honda on the world championship trail,he was quite handy on a Manx Norton,he got his chance

to ride works Hondas after Tom phillis was killed at the TT in 1962.

The Turbo Visors were very popular with  Grass tracking Car racers,as they drove with no glass fitted and

worked very well for them,but as for bike riding they were noisey and not very trendy(well that statement

feels dated)but they did not fall apart,just the strap was not strong enough when the head turned to look

behind,the noise was from the outer edge of the visor spinning at sound barrier speed.
