Anyone have this issue?
Went for a ride yesterday, beautiful day, 60° sunny, blue skies... I thought I would try out my new jacket, Hi-Viz Yellow 3/4 length.
Well, when the sun was shining on the jacket it was extremely difficult to see the dash board, the digital speedometer was about the only thing I could make out.
Anyone have this problem????

Nor I with either of my Hi Viz jackets but I have a Comfort Seat so I'm back a couple more inches than you might be.

Thanks for the input. I have stock seat and bars. Maybe a riser? Of course I am blessed with short arms, not much I can do there. Maybe I can arrange the safety card as a shade!

Do you have the reflective coating on your glasses?
Both my regular and sun glasses have this.
it prevent glare from head light at night.
Might help
Ride safe

I have had a similar problem with my reflective coat. The glare made my Garmin GPS hard to see on a sunny day. I mounted a shade over the gps and it made a huge difference

My sun glasses are polarized and there is a UV coating on my regular glasses. I had sunglasses on when I had the problem. My helmet has a drop down sun shade, I do not use it when I have sun glasses on, makes it too dark. I will try the sun shade next time.

Yes I've had similar problems with a bright red jacket. Switched to a black Leather one and every thing was good.

Similar thing happened to me
I stopped at a local car dealership one afternoon after an hour of riding. Spent about 45 minutes there and after starting bike to leave I could not see the center LCD dash. Completely blacked out. Weather was 80 plus that day and very sunny but figured something was wrong with the bike and not a reflection issue. Drove home less than a mile to call dealer to make an appt. and by the time I got home it was back to normal. Hasn't happened since. Same Spyder, 2013 ST-S Circuit Yellow SE5

lcd panel
I have the same problem with my yellow jacket. The screen is one of the worst displays i have ever seen. Too much info on a small space. The sun really makes it hard to see and a reflection makes it impossible. Do they use the same display on their water crafts?
