An Idea For a New Product?

:agree:

But the new dash on the 2018 models, is a vast improvement... :thumbup:

I bought the protective and non-reflective film for an I-pad, then cut it to size and put it one both our F3 Spyders. It does help some, but doesn't make it "easily seen and easily readable" during daylight. I will be leaving them on though, since it does help some with reflection.
Now if they would make some "magnifying" non-reflective film, I'd try that for sure. Everything is just to small for an old guy like me.........any ideas on that!

On my RS-S, the problem is that the clear instrument cover is almost perfectly perpendicular to my viewing angle when I look at the dash. No matter what kind of shroud you put around it, if the sun is over my shoulder, it's going to shine directly in my eyes. It's a pretty stupid design. The instruments should be at a different angle, as on a lot of other bikes—

Either making the gauges themselves almost vertical...



...or angling the reflective cover vertically.

My problem is with my GPS on my 2008GS. I've tried multiple shrouds and films that promise to reduce glare, and nothing helps. But, when I do try angling the GPS for less glare, it does help a little. I wonder why they don't make GPS's with LCD displays? I never have a problem with glare for my LCD display on my spyder

When I used to wear my black Joe Rocket mesh coat----- no problem reading the dash........... but with my new coat ( silver in color ) I get enough reflection to make it difficult to read the dash.

So I just don't look at the dash...:joke::joke::joke:
