Default Goggles/Eyewear

Ok..finally got the new bike on the road for awhile. Wearing my 1976 Raybans....at 45 mph or so the ole wind swept in and I was watering like a baby with a full diaper! So what do you pro's wear for eye protection?

When wearing my half helmet, I have a pair of clear Harley Davidson goggles which have foam around the lenses to reduce wind and give a more complete fit. Other than that, I have a full helmet with windscreen so no problems then

There is only one kind of goggle for me-Panoptx. You can get different styles that fit on your nose in different ways. I choose the Raptor. It has adjustable temple pieces. They seal terrific. No wind in your eyes at any speed with or without a helmet. Many different types of lenses. Get them at a Harley dealer or Panoptx.com.

Panoptx gets my vote as well. They're high quality and the lenses change automatically from day to night...
