tach&speedo visors??

[canman80]

I got a 79' XS1100 special,with Yamaha fairing .Tach and speedo reflect glare right at line of sight thru fairing when at night.Does anyone make visors for tachs and speedos or any suggestions on a homemade one?I don't wanna cut down the fairing,I like it just where it is.

Yamaha made a visor for the fully dressed 1981 'H but they are almost impossible to find.

I've never seen one for the round gauges on a Special. You might try bending up some light aluminum to match the shape of your gauge set. Then for mounting, you'll need a tab that folds down in under the gauges that you can bolt to a couple of the instrument mounting bolts.

on my 78E I used the cover from a $1.00 plastic notebook binder. Used black electrical tape to hold to the guages. works just fine. As a bonus, the center lights (oil, turn, etc.) still reflect off the windshield with a "heads up display" effect.
Just a thought....turn your guages upside down for a true H.U.D. set up......naw, nevermind

Speedo

Wow, the speedo is much more impressive in KPh!

Yup - our km is smaller than your mile, our litre is smaller than your gallon, and our buck is smaller than your buck. Hmm, wonder what else that leaves?

I know, I know!

I think the answer is National Debt!
