Blinded by my dash
After repeatedly being blinded by the reflecton off my dash, I ordered a carbin fiber dash kit.
After I installed it, I sawthe Harley catalog book had the same one, only better and cheaper.
[:@]DAMN !!
I say it's better, because at least the little piece around the switch has the words on it from Harley
and the one I bought from J&P that was a Drag Specialist didn't,
so I didn't put that piece on.
But it's black there anyway so that wasn't bothering me.
It looks good and helps 99.9%.

I never get a glare off my dash. But sometimes I get some nasty rays from my triple tree. [:@]

Probably get more 'sun flashes' off the mirrors, but it would be kind of hard to black them out.
Usuallywhen it's bright out I wear a good pair of tinted ridding glasses, so it's never been a big deal...
RE: Blinded by my dash
Sometimes the sun reflects with a magnifying glass-like glare, and I can feel my face burning. No joke. Doesn't happen long enough to bother me on the move but during stop lights, I have to lean to a side. I've got to consider doing something soon, too.

Hows the quality of those inserts?
I was considering but was worried that its a sticker that may peel specifically if you ride in the rain much?
