Instrumentation Sun Glare

[Nice Rumble]

While riding this afternoon headed east and the sun to my back I'm getting a lot of glare off the instruments directly into my visor. There wasn't much I could do except block it with my left hand (which is not a good idea for obvious reasons) or lift my helmet up so the chinbar blocks it. Anyone else experience this?

I have, but I do not have a solution yet.

Have anti-glare coatings applied to your glasses/sun glasses. Be advised though, that once applied, your specs are a bitch to clean.

I have experienced this as well, but do not have a solution yet either.

Oy. See post #3.

I have an anti-glare coating on my glasses and polarized clip-on sunglasses and the glare is still very nasty! Anybody know of a glare killing film to put on the instrument faces?

Try that dark film they use for tinting car windows should work many degrees of darkness to use

have it installed professionally. weekend rider

Cover your gauges with duct tape. No more glare.

On a serious note, I really only notice this problem when I clean my dash panel. I suppose one could fabricate a metal shield/hood for the instruments to decrease the chances of reflective glare as you describe. Does the Brydenscot shelf protrude far enough over the cluster to shade the instrument lenses? It appears as though this may help except for very short times of the day.
