+1 on the flat black. No better color (or technically combination of all colors). I see a chrome dash and I want to paint it black......

There may also be some console inlays if you don't want to paint it or have it powder coated. I had mine powder coated satin black then added a vivid black inlay.

FF helmet or modular. The chin bar will block the glare.

Living and boating in sunny Florida, I always wear prescription non-glare sunglasses when outdoors. They still weren't enough to help block the intense glare, so I switched my clear face shield, on my FF, to a smoked one. It made riding a lot more pleasant for me.

Sun glasses dont work when the glare comes from underneath them. Even when it hits the glasses it can be very distracting. Black paint, inlay inserts, PC.

A set of polarized sunglasses? Or goggles if they make those.
