Some $12 no-names with foam around the eyes, great big bug looking lenses that are impact resistant. They go perfect with my DOT approved mushroom cap looking skull cap helmet.

When I wear full face, tiny Maui Jims that fit nice.

I looked at a pair of goggles at a HD dealer a few weeks ago that were $20. Lighter lenses, would probably be ok/better than my glasses for night riding.

+1 on that
I actually wear tinted safety glasses I picked up from work
they shade the sun pretty well and have side protection that helps with the wind
not bad for free. Have the clear ones for night riding but the glare is irritating.
picked up some night riders at a local indy place for about 12 bucks. they have yellow
lenses and work great

I find it pretty suprising that a bunch of folks will spend hundreds of dollars on chrome bits and pieces but think that an 11 dollar pair of shades from the gas station are going to save your eyeball from a rock coming at you about 110 mph. Having eyeballs that work is pretty high on my priority list.

I have smoked KD's for sunny days and yellow KD's for night time and overcast days. I also have a pair of Polarized Spy's but those are too pricey to take the chance of losing them on the scooter.

Safety glasses from work for night riding - go ahead, laugh.

O.K, then....Skip the 11 buck gas station glasses and get you some safety glasses like some of them are talking about. You can get 'em for a little as 3 bucks a pair:

+1 and mine also have a foam wind blocker. They're like goggles, but go on like shades. Best I've tried yet.
