while driving at night on my 2006 stratoliner i found what i thinh is the only flaw. i can't see thru the windshield becouse if the blinding reflectin from the speedometer.it blocks the upper part of the windshield (the factory windscreen)so you can't see thru it. i called yamaha customer service ir should i say customer i don't care and was told nothinng they can do ut offerd the following A- cover the speedometer so nothing reflects B- turn the light to the speedometer down (so you can't see) C-take of the windscreen(i have a stratoliner not a roadliner) D-cut the windscreen down E-but the shorter windscreen
This should not be the answer and don't care attude when you call the factory for help. thanks blinded by the light

I asked a factory rep at the International Motorcycle show about a visor for the speedometer to eliminate the glare. He said that Yamaha was working on one and it should be out shortly. Well, that was two years ago. I took some cardboard and cut my own. I had to play with the angle and height to eliminate the glare. After I had the right angle and height, I used the cardboard as a pattern to cut out a piece of tin. I then had the tin chromed. I got some two-sided tape to hold it in place. If you don't want to go to all this work and expense, you can cut the cardboard and only use it at night. I guess it all depend on how much night riding you do.

I'm not sure if this'd work, but have you considered those films you can put over lcd screens and monitors to reduce glare/other people seeing it but you, and cutting it to fit the spedometer.
