help:how do u curve / mold silver mirrors lens

[tbulman315]

So i bouggt the moto cycle mirror silver lens called artfx (i think) they look great but wont bend or shape to the lens area for anything...can anyone help me figure out how to do this

Well, how i would usually do this is to boil the lenses, just for a very brief time, and then reshape, hold, and let cool. Since these are mirrored, which i assume is a film on the lense, that might not be the best idea. It could ruin the film causing it to crease. I would say itdepends how much you need to bend them.

Unfortunately that did not work.....just cant get them to stay flush against the lip.......put hotglue on it but keeps popping it out..i even drilled holes to help but nothing.help

I've seen some manufacture a clip to hold the lense in place, but it is ok to have a gap. If you can have the gap on the bottom of the lens it won't be seen and it will also allow air flow. There are quite a few buckets out there with slight gaps around the lenses though.

I have the large AFX mirror lens for my bucket. I drilled 2 holes (one on each side of the lens) then glued in a piece of 5mm abs on each side of the helmet. The pieces have a small hole that corresponds with the lens. The lens wraps from side to side across the front and secure with screws. Works like a charm.

What Jim described is how my lens is held in place as well.
