    now try it at dusk

    or at night.

    Hard to capture glare from your eyes perspective, but I suspect once our pupils dilate a bit at sundown that same light might be a bit painful.

      I agree, do it at night. Daylight is totally different.

        Thanks Bug, I appreciate your taking the effort. I did not try it during daylight hours. I would tend to agree that night time is the true test, only because at night a flashlight to the face or flash photography does a far better job of blinding/dazzling me. I should have taken pics of my test, but I did not.

        But again, I am certain what the results were with my stock Special headlight in its stock position. I am interested to see if perhaps the fairing changes things enough to make this work. Not that I would change to a fairing, but interesting to know.
        Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

        When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
