Me too, I'd like to try one. Not sure if the Neotec2 shield is same as original Neotec... but I bought a gradient shield for the Neotec... very slight tint at the bottom gradually darkening slightly at the upper part. OK to ride at night if you crack the shield open a couple notches. Don't know if you can get them any more.....
Also wish the Neotec had a somewhat lighter tint to the sunvisor part... the one on my AGV was noticeably lighter and you could see better, yet sun was shaded enough.

Duct tape can't fix stupid, but it can sure muffle the sound.

Since there was a long-standing restriction on selling mirrored shields for the Neotec II (in the US), I’ve hoped that, with that restriction being dropped by Shoei, that we’d see a transitions become available. No dice yet.

The Shoei transition shield is a game changer on my RF1200 and I love not having to pack a second clear shield for after dark. The transition doesn't get supper dark but I've never been riding down the road thinking it wasn't dark enough. I also wish that shoei made the transition sheild for my Hornet X2 adventure helmet.

I've been told that Transitions lenses will not darken behind clear visors. I have a Shoei Neotec and it has the factory visor with the Pinloc insert and my Transitions darken just fine. I wonder if it is because I bought the Transitions XTRActive lenses. They even get dark on completely overcast days.
