Finally got some time this weekend to go on a little:f_spider: trip to southern Indiana. It was cool enough that I had the windshield all the way up most off the time. I am getting a glare in my windshield from the handlebars from my 2012 RTS. How have you taken care of this?

I just drop the windshield down until that reflection disappears... nojoke It's only a matter of maybe 2". :thumbup:

Look over the top of the windshield. nojokei get buffeting if windshield is all the way up & haven't noticed any glare but it might be a height thing:dontknow::dontknow:

I like having the option of being able to tuck down behind it when conditions warrant that course of action...

I'm with you Brent. I ride with mine almost all the way down. If it is up I get a sore neck from buffeting. I do get a lot of glare on the dash board though.

That is why I got the new vented windshield . When i close the vent i get buffeting . None with it open and all the way up.

You've got that right! Wearing hi-vis clothing makes it even worse. Can't see the display at all sometimes.

Has anybody tried playing with the handlebar surfaces to try and reduce the reflections? :dontknow:
