try a pair of glasses that have the foam and a strap. I had that problem with my oakleys, went to a different pair of oakleys and they are fine.

Croakies, or something like them. Works for me. I prefer my Wiley-X, though.

I know a tighter fitting pair may be the answer but for a long ride it would not work after awhile tight fitting glasses don't cut it. Anyone else experience this?

You gotta be kiddin' right?

Dude, if a better fitting pair of glasses is not obvious to you, please ride in the slow lane for your safety and ours.

I bought a pair of prescription, polycarbonate, recreational wrap-around sunglasses and have no problem at all. If you don't wear a prescription, then I would think that any wrap-around sunglasses would do the trick!

It boils down to air coming from under the batwing. Unless you use one or more, whatever it takes for you, of the several deflector devices out there for a SG, you will have enough dirty air coming up from below to move your glasses, your helmet (if any), and anything else you wear, all over the place. Ruins the fun.

CAUTION!!!!! 1/2" is too long for this job! If you use a staple too long it will go something like this:

"OK.....Better mark the spot with a Sharpie... only want to do this once!"

"OK.... lined up perfectly.... Now, depress the safety...... hold steady..............aaaaand. LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB LUB"
