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.

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.
