Default Sunglasses for Sportster

I’m new to riding and ride 883 Sportster, what’s best sunglasses to wear with 3/4 helmet that blocks wind? 50+ mph and the wind is brutal, I’d rather not wear full face helmet. Thanks in advance. The only thing I found that even remotely helped were some cheapo glasses I found on amazon that had some foam surrounding the lenses but it wasn’t a great fix.

Go to your local HD Dealer and look over their offerings, lots of sunglasses in different styles.
Also look at the Road Kings.
Oh, and welcome to the forum from The Great State Of Alabama!

Choices choices. ..this might end up boiling down to what's more important. ..what you PREFER to do, or what you MUST do!

This is yet another subjective issue wherein you will have to experiment with different combinations. There's no short cut, and unless you get lucky early, itsy get expensive.

Welcome.

Probably any sun glasses that have a removable foam seal around the lens frame. WileyX has them or 7eye sun glasses. Seals out wind and dust. I use the 7eye with the photo chromatic lenses.

You could post in the Sportster forum to see what they're using.

There was a pretty extensive thread started back on 3.20.18 titled AVIATOR SUNGLASSES on this topic. Go back and looked it up. Lot of recommendations.

I wear the same glasses while riding my Sportster and my Fatty. What's the difference?

Oh yeah, welcome to the forum.
