Hopefully some of the billet vendors will see this. Our HUDs are a tad bit dim in the sun light. I bought a kick @ss *opps meant - ash* windscreen to try and brighten mine up a little. I was wondering if someone could fabricate a small "shade" that attaches to the top of the HUD to help shade it. Short of taking some cardboard and doing it on my own I would buy a nice fitted aluminum one or such. I dunno, I'm on a 4 day weekend and I'm thinking of all kinds of crap. What do you guys think? If we found a vendor to make one would anyone else buy it? (Message edited by geforce on March 02, 2009) | ||

My Dark Smoke ZG serves the same purpose. Also my Passport 8500X50 helps, since it's mounted over the IC. Neil S. | ||

Ehhh, I don't want to put my V1 on the bike, besides I don't ever break the speed limit anyways.  Maybe cardboard and duct tape is the way to go. | ||

I'd be interested in something along those lines. I live & ride in Az so I can relate. I'll stay tuned, thanks | ||

I want to know how you got a Heads Up Display on your bike? Mine just has a crappy gauge based console.  | ||

Spectrum you have a HUD too! You don't just "ride" an 1125r. When you are tucked, you become a pilot, maneuvering your finely tuned machine through the twisties with skill. When tucked and in "pilot" mode, the Instrument Cluster becomes a Head's Up Display. Don't you wished you could live in my world more often? lol  | ||

My beer repository doesn't allow me to assume that particular position. I can hunker down, sure, but it would take some serious bike yoga to get get my helmet down below the top of the screen. | ||

Uncle Sam strictly prohibits the possession of a beer repository in the combat arms realm. And hunkering down on top of the air box isn't bad now, but I can't imagine having a little chunk and trying to squeeze down on top of it. lol reminds me of a high school buddy. We had a local "gear head" hang out, and it was mainly GN guys. One day our buddy shows up on a bike, we saw him ride it up to the shop and started laughing because he was an a little 600. Keep in mind this dude was huge. About 6'3ish and upwards of 275-300 pounds. He looked like a Circus Bear on that thing. A few months later when his skilled increased, wheelies became the local lunch time laugh in the parking lot. “What bike? Get off that poor thing so we can see it!” | ||

I ride in AZ and was irritated with HUD glare so I painted my windscreen black, and I love it. |
