sun shining on face
Ok! so I found a way to plan my route when my back is facing the sun. But because of my ride, road king , it has this shiny center console right on top of the tank. So when the sun is behind me, it reflects its shine right on my face. Its not only uncomfortable but also a potential danger. All of you roadking riders know what Im talking about. Im currently using a pair polarized sunglasses but still it bothers me.
To fix this problem I can plan my riding route so the sun is facing me. But is there any other ways to have more comfortable riding time?

Powder coat the console the same color as your tank.
My WG sometimes has the same issue, I just block the glare with my left hand as needed.

I don't even notice it anymore after riding 10 years in the Florida sun...
