can't see gauges in sunlight

[Frang]

An on going problem I have with my 2011 H-D is seeing the gauges in bright sunlight especially with sunglasses on. Wondering if anyone has this problem and if so what have they done to fix it. Is there a visor or something to help with this. I'm getting older and the eyesight isn't what it was

I have windshield bags in my 2011 Tri, they hang a little low and act as a sun visor.. That might work for you, But I do find it very hard to see/read the radio screen when i have my polarized sun glasses on..:gah:

My trike is blacked out. I had the same problem. I purchased a set of trim rings for the gauges and painted them black. It helped a lot. The sun does not reflect off the rings into the gauges. Works if you don't mind black trim rings.

If the trike feels good and sounds good, I assume the gauges are good. That said, if I absolutely want to see something, I might pull sunglasses down on my nose, look over them and shade with my hand whatever I am trying to see.

I have always had a problem seeing the instruments in my car and bike with sunglasses on. The one thing that helps is to wear something black as that eliminates most of the problem at least for me.
I bought some anti glare film for my cell phone, Zumo660, camera and the Harley display. Haven't installed on the Harley screen yet, but it works pretty good on the other items. ThumbUp
