Question:

I just received my order which included the Big Ben Touring Kit.  When I checked the package I found that clear lenses were missing.  What do I need to do to get the clear lens sent?

Answer:

You’ve already done it.  The lenses are being shipped to you today via USPS.  Sorry about the mix-up.

Recently, I got an email from a good friend of mine telling me about a project that his son is involved in.  When I checked out the website I was struck by importance of this event.

On September 11, 2001 ( 9/11 )  we got a somber reminder of how precious our freedom is.  Because of the actions of a few our country was faced with the most hideous reminder that we must stand for what we know is important.  This year on 9/11 five young men, who are fighting for our freedom and our rights are putting together a 24 hour walk around the mall in Washington DC.  I highly recommend everyone to support their cause by either participating or donating to the cause.

For more information check out Day The Eagle Cried ( http://www.daytheeaglecried.com/index.html ).  Stand tall and support them in this effort.

Question:

Looking over the glasses goggels that will be comfortable under my full face helmet. Recently purchased a pair but they put ptessure on the bridge of the nose by pushing on the glasses. Do you have a product that I might use? Thanks.

Answer:

Clem

This is always a hard question to answer.  Basically a lot of it has to do with how tightly your helmet fits, the size of your face and the design of the sunglasses themselves.  Sunglasses that will be used for full face helmets should have very straight temples and should be relatively square at the temples so that they fit between the padding of the helmet and your face easily.  Most motorcycle glasses have a very curve design which causes them to be wider at the temples.

Many of the manufacturers of motorcycle glasses that we carry have designs that work well for use with full face helmets.  Here’s a list of the ones that have been recommended by our customers.

• Road Hog Convertible, Black Frame, 3 Lenses From Bobster Eyewear (http://www.bikerwares.com/store/store.php?crn=147&rn=1022&action=show_detail ) - These are a very good value and versatile set of sunglasses.  With the multiple lenses you can wear these day and night

• Road Hog II Convertible, Black Frame, 4 Lenses From Bobster Eyewear (http://www.bikerwares.com/store/store.php?crn=136&rn=645&action=show_detail ) - These are an even better value since in addition to the smoked, amber and clear lenses you get a gradient lens to handle even more conditions

• Blackjack 2 Convertible, Black Frame, 3 Sets of Lenses from Bobster Eyewear (http://www.bikerwares.com/store/store.php?crn=136&rn=1023&action=show_detail ) - For sunglasses that have a little more of blade type look these would be a great choice.

• Gunner Photochromatic/Transitional from Bobster Eyewear ( http://www.bikerwares.com/store/store.php?crn=148&rn=1024&action=show_detail) - These are a great pair of transitional motorcycle glasses with the flat arms required for your full face helmet.

Hope this information helps.  Let me know if I can answer any other questions.

Question:

I’m wondering if the Eliminator will fit over my eyeglasses. I have a small frame - they’re 5″ across and 1″ high lens with a wire frame.

Answer:

Lynn,

I wouldn’t recommend the Eliminators for fitting over glasses.  The eliminators are much to small.

For goggles that go over glasses I would recommend:

• All Star Kit (http://www.bikerwares.com/store/store.php?crn=77&rn=588&action=show_detail ) This is our most popular.  It’s bigger and would fit over your glasses no problem.
• Big Ben Kit (http://www.bikerwares.com/store/store.php?crn=77&rn=587&action=show_detail) This is our largest goggles and fits over all glasses.
• Spider Kit (http://www.bikerwares.com/store/store.php?crn=118&rn=1016&action=show_detail ) This is a smaller lens and would fit over your glasses well also.

I gave you the links to the kits because it’s a better value and more useful than a single lens set.  Let me know if you have any other questions.
