glare on windshiled from speedometer lite 12 Years, 11 Months ago  
Has anyone found an easy way to reduce the glare you get from the speedometer light onto the windshield when riding at night?

Update: I searched the web over and found at the Yamaha accessories page a Reflector that mounts on the speedo housing. It wasn't specific in what it was for but from the looks of it I think it would at least help. I also found a similar item made by Arlen Ness.<br><br>Post edited by: ssgtred, at: 2005/03/22 13:20

I purchased a Yami &quot;Cowl&quot; that's what its called $50. That sent the light from the dash to the top of the windshield, out of sight.

Didn't get a reminder of your post so I'm late.

I don't have the p/n. If you can't get a hold of Joe at A-1 I'll give you the number and he'll fix you right up with discount and all. I've tried a few cheap other cowls and none would stay on until I bought one from Joe @ A-1.

A friend of mine bought a glare shield like the one you describe a the local Harlry Dealer for $20. Fit perfectly. You can also try Chapparal Cycle Supply on the net. They have alot of accesories. Happy Riding.

Yup that's the cowl/visor and at a much better price than I got a few years back.

I looked at some HD visors but didn't look like they'd fit proper, maybe one would of. The Yami visor has two sided tape that sticks onto the top of the speedo and its a heavy piece of chrome.
