Default Sun Reflection off Chrome Headlight

When the sun is coming over my shoulder it reflects off the chrome headlight directly into my eyes. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so how are some ways to fix it? So far, this is my attempt to block that light.

See here!!!! Another reason chrome sucks!!!!

Not only do ya gotta polish the crap or it rusts and looks oogly, but it is also a safety hazard!!!!


DOWN WITH CHROME!!!!


Paint the headlight body flat black, wrinkle black, or even match the bike's color. Leave the trim ring chrome to set it off.

I haven't had a problem with my headlight and I have ridden at various times of the day, maybe I'm lucky.

I get a lot of glare from the dash and riser. Also the gas cap and fuel gauge. [sm=shades.gif]

You can see some of it in this photo.
