Default How do you deal with glare inside your windshield?
Morning everyone,
My wife has a hard time with the glare from her tank on the inside of her windshield. How do you deal with it? I just take it as something that cant be helped but I thought I'd ask the experts. Is there a polarized film that can be put on the inside of the windshield to help reduce glare? Thanks all for your help

Run a short windshield on my Road King. My line of sight is well above it.
