does anyone know of a anti glare cover for the radio screen for a road glide special, or a visor to keep the sun off of it. Some times the glare can be very annoying

 

[BillyBob]

Not one that I know of- but someone
Can make some $$$ off one if the make ???

Someone said they used that film that folks use on their phones.

Long thread over at CVOHarley about it, some have used 6.5" screen protectors.

I went to a window tint place and had them tint it a shade. Perfect

 

[Q-Hog]

Smarty, did the tint affect the touch screen functions?

That glare is like looking directly into a welders torch.

I ordered some matte finish tech armor and put it on mine and also on the speedo and tach. It cut the reflection down quite a bit but you still can't see the screen with the sun behind you.

so it got rid of the refection that is causing the glare

The reflection yes, still can make out the screen in direct sunlight. It needs a hood of some sort.

If Harley would have just made that screen a couple of angles down it would be perfect. I don't know who was sitting on that seat when they was figuring out the angle to design that screen

 

[Blackbag1]

It seems the designers took a straight edge, chose an aesthetic angle for the new fairing, then tilted the gauges and screen the same angle, and called it good without road-testing it in the wild. Plasma cutter brightness for me when the sun hits it just right

The new upgrade helps but as you said Harley does no real world testing they think it a harley no body cares

if this was Ford the GOV would have them make a recall since it does Blind you

Also has anyone noticed you can't even see the GPS at night becuase the field of view is off all i can see are faint street names.

this fairing needs to be redesigned to tilt the radio down some OR place a different filter in it to get a larger field of view :crying:

Have you tried using the + and - buttons on the left side of the screen to zoom in or out?

I purchased the Nushield day view screen film from them for mine, it is not perfect but a hell of a improvement, and it does not interfere with the touch screen. For I believe $18.50 it was worth it to me check them out NuShield

I also purchased a Nushield and agree it is a improvement.

The the radio assembly is to long to allow tilting the screen to a flatter angle.

However, the screen simply unplugs from the radio, so a new harness could be used to relocate the screen and still plug to the radio.

However, this "new harness" would likely need to be a flexible printed circuit board so impedance and shielding could be tightly control. Otherwise this video interface probably wouldn't work at all.

Once the screen is connected via a flexible pcb, plenty of room exist between the radio and fairing to design a mounting enclosure that protrudes outside the fairing and holds the screen. In fact this new enclosure could have a folding door on it that when up would serve as a glare shield and when closed would block all sun and water.

So get busy designing that pcb and enclosure. Then send me a few free ones for giving you the idea.

However, the best thing to do is trash the whole HD system and design a new system with a daylight readable marine display.

Sounds like a nice little project after I retire. For now I may resort to duct tape or a hammer.

Did you apply the day shield to the HD protector or directly to the screen itself?

I did not remove the factory installed protector, I cleaned it real good, and installed the new on top. It worked perfect, the touch screen works as it should.

This is what I'm running for glare...helps a little, but not a huge improvement...
