Roll bar?! What is a roll bar on a bike? I've heard of roll bars on trucks, jeeps and race cars, but not on bikes. Crash bars, yes. Roll bars, no. And how is that related to the tint on your helmet visor?

And are you saying that you never finished third grade? I mean, geez, periods and comas were covered pretty early in the education process.

They're not roll bars or crash bars - they're called engine guards.

Please don't.

OP- you're talking two issues. 1. Polarized glasses. Get used to it and adapt, or get another pair of non-polarized glasses. (btw, new blacktop makes crazy rainbows too)
2. Buffeting: Easy way to deal with that is to ditch the wimpshield. Otherwise, I don't know.....I run my wimpshield in the spring and fall, and only notice the buffeting for a few rides before it's all part of the fun.
