I know there have to be some other riders here who wear prescription glasses. Im wondering what you do for eye/sun protection? Do you just wear a pair of prescription sunglasses, or are there some sunglasses/goggles that fit over glasses that dont look completely ridiculous? Right now Im wearing the magnetic "clip on" sunglesses and they vibrate a lot in the wind.

Speaking of wind buffeting, I just put my stock 4" windshield back on and find Im getting a ton of buffeting. I think a 6" would make a huge difference while not hiding behind a windshield all summer. I bought a tall windshield last fall from Clark's Custom Windshield (Half Moon Wings) and the customer service and prices are excellent. But Im wondering if a recurve would be worth the extra money? Who makes that style besides ClearView?

 

I just put my stock 4"er back on my bike for the same reasons. I had a 10" screen on and got sick and tired of hiding behind it all season long. After putting on the stock windshield and getting all the buffeting, I think I will be investing in a 6 1/2" Klokwerks screen. One that I can still see over but don't get all the buffeting

 

I wear prescription sunglasses with no problem.

 

I wear Rx glasses too...1 pair of Serengeti and a pair of Ray Ban wrap around type...I just bought a new flip up full face... i wore it today but Dog gone...hot is hot...hed to stop after an hour and put my shorty back on...

 

Im Tired of looking through three pices of plastic. Eye glass sun glass clip ons and wind shield. I can't see worth a ****. f--ing eye sight. My right eye keeps changing from hr to hr day to day account UVites.Goes from 20-20 corrected to 20-50 then tears. Im going try a face shield. Clear for night. Tinted for day. See how that works out.

 

I wear Rx. I have a pair of polarized Rx sunglasses. The frames are by Maui Jim sunglasses. I had the non Rx Maui Jim sunglassese lenses replaced with the Rx. I received cautions that the Rx be distorted because of the radical curviture required by the Maui Jim sunglasses frames.

Well, I took the risk and bought what has become the best sunglasses I have ever had. Expensive though. $550 for the lenses and I recall something like $200 for the frames. Gotta wear them for the rest of my life even if my prescription changes.

I have no problem with the windshield on my Road Glide, or with the flip up lid on my helmet when I go full face head gear.

 

Chuck,
I too have an 09 SG I replaced my stock shield with a Clearview 8" with recurve. The new shield works great for me and mama... I wear prescription glasses from the WalMart vision center. They're called Rec Specks, they have black plastic frames and have the rubber around the inside of the frame. I have the transition lenses in mine, they were about $200.00 but worth every penny. They do not fog up like the Wiley X ones that I had before. Hope this helps.

Doug

 

Have a pair of Wiley X prescriptioned goggles that transition with the sunlight so can wear them all day for long trips. Round the hood, I just wear my glasses and a ball cap. Works fine.

 

I have a pair of RX WileyX's and they work great with the foam seal that keeps the elements from your eyes.

 

got a place near me that cuts lenses they hooked me up with panoptixs bifocals transition lens with a yellow tint (for night ridin)really happy with them.one tip if u get foam lined make sure there closed cell foam the open cell will disinegrate.
