Originally, I was going to replace it with a black dash from another model (FXDB), but can't afford the $100+ for it, at least unless I can sell off some of the leftover parts I have that the original owner gave me with the bike (2 two-up seats, and 2 sets of stock-ish pipes, and highway pegs). If you figure out another cheaper solution, please share it with me.
I had the same problem. I use a FF helmet and use the chin bar to block the glare when it happens. I just tilt my head up a few degrees until it's blocked.

Turned the brackets for my speakers on the handlebars around so that they sit a couple inches closer. Doesn't look as good from the front, but they sound better while riding.

which model caliper's are those? i dont plan on going dual for a while (i modded everything at once the day i bought the bike and that kinda hurt lol) but i feel id benefit at least from doing the left side for now. i was thinking of going with the yamaha monoblocks but those brembos look great too and obviously work.

Changed all 3 fluids; Spectro 6-Speed in the transmission, Spectro Chaincase Oil in the Primary, Valvoline VR1 SAE 50 in the engine. Cleaned the PCS4C oil filter, changed out the K&N air filter and the external breather filter to the second set; cleaned the air and breather filters and set them up to dry. Gave the bike a wash and a wax.

It's bike night, tonight

Since the trike conversion, I can't stay off this thing; it's like nothing you'd believe. I actually wish I would have done this sooner It's ridiculous fun to ride and it's proven to be a people magnet. I actually didn't anticipate that; whenever I stop now I've got people asking questions or wanting to take an image with their iPotato phones. I wanted a bike that was something a bit different than what's out there; careful of what you wish, as they say

Dam tincup that bike looks so dam cool. With the slightly longer tubes up front the stance looks perfect. Well done!
