Anyone one if it’s possible to change the visors on any full face helmet? Cheers, John

Definitely. What helmet do you have,  what's the reason for wanting to change?

You can replace them with the same visor designed for the helmet, but they are often hard to get.

Thanks for your replies.
It’s a JFM from M&P and it has a few scrapes on the visor.
Cheers, John

Never heard of JFM, John, but a quick search comes up...with next to nowt! Italian websites etc? And one 'jfmhelmets' site 'Under Costruction' [sic]

to be honest, maybe it's a chance to bin the helmet (especially if it's a bit beat up) and get a new one, different make, with better visor availability :shrug:  No offence, no patronising, just an alternative view :thumb:

Do you have a model number as I've found this on Amazon, but as it has been said before put the money towards a new helmet from a known manufacturer

M&P are not listing JFM either. How old is the helmet?
