Reducing Scratches on clear visor; or where to get a new one

[mickdel]

My lid got scratched by falling off the passenger seat,  when I was busy putting the disc brake on. The lid is a viper RS -V 121.  Also, anyone know where I can get a battery for the bluetooth?

New one, I've never managed to get scratches properly sorted on visors.

Yep,  an irish moment there.  one of the kid's friends.  I'll ask help desk to remove it.    IT challenged isn't the word for me.    I learned to type on a teleprinter in 1990,  and don't seem to have acquired much in the way of technical knowledge.  At least I got a fotie up!

You can try a tiny bit of toothpaste on a lint free cloth but may be goosed

Visors these days have a hard coating... certainly last a hell of a lot longer than when I started riding. The downside is that to polish a scratch out you've got to keep going until the surrounding (hard) surface is down to the level of the bottom of the scratch. It should be possible, but it'll take a long time and the result will be a visor that is no longer scratch-resistant.
Long story short... it's time to buy a new one.

Thanks.  I'll try the toothpaste.  The visor on these vipers are much thinner than other decent helmets.  They're about a quarter as hard as the ones on my arai,  and scratch if you look at them funny  :'( Otherwise, it's a nice snug fitting lid with excellent sun visor and the bluetooth works a treat.    I'll have a scunder round ebay if the toothpaste disnae work, but I still need a wee battery fer the blueteeth.
