RE: Sunglasses dancing on my Nose!!
Has anyone tried the Light adjusting sunglasses, I think wiley x makes them, Just thinking they might be a good thing instead of having to stop and switch from sunglasses to clear lens when the sun goes down while riding.

I had the same problem, turns out it wasnt the glasses. Put a 8" clear view recurve windshield on, problem solved! This way you can keep your 20 year old RayBans streak alive.

Guys
thanks for all the replies
Going out for Crokies today, and adjust the frames at Sunglass hut Sat.
if that doesn't do it - Cheapie wraparound with foam - and then break for the H-D if I have too
Terminator69---you old enough to be riding - you look kinda young in your pic?? Glasses look good on you though!

RE: Sunglasses dancing on my Nose!!
I have a Cro-Magnon type forehead...some say my forehead is so big it's a fivehead. What I do is push the glasses right up to my eyes and kind of squint,so I'musing the meat where my eyebrows are to hold my glasses in place. Kinda like using 2 monocles at the same time. It works great! Now if I can only figure out how to get rid of the headache every time I go riding, I'll be fine.

Got my Sunglasses at Wal Mart for 8$ by the checkout stand a year ago. They fit perfect on my SG.

My first demo ride on a SG, same thing, got a LOT of wind in my face. Second demo ride, wore a face shield. I think you have two choices, taller windshield or riding glasses.
