A little glare I can live with, but when the morning or afternoon sun is at your back the glare becomes almost blinding and the screen unusable.
From a safety standpoint, that alone should have been caught at the factory or by the Rushmore thingy, but maybe they just made comments and never got to ride the thing in it's finished design? To me, it doesn't look like anybody at the MOCO rode it either in it's completed state. For a system that extravagant on a bike this expensive, plus after their much-touted Project Rushmore, this should have been discussed and eliminated early on...no brainer! I mean, it's not like HD has only been making bikes for 5 years or so...right?
When the screen becomes unusable because of glare, that should be the minority of the time. The vast minority. I don't want to have to scoot up or lean way forward to be able to see what I'm doing on the screen, and I don't want to have to take more than one or two glances to move my selection around or to see where I am on the screen. That makes this radio a whole lot less usable and safe and friendly and fun.
The guys out there that are 6'5" say they don't have a problem, but the rest of us are saying at the very least it's annoying, and at the worst, it's somewhat dangerous.
I guess I'm crying on deaf ears because will the MOCO ever read these posts? If they were smart they would. If anything came out of Rushmore it would have been read the blogs, MOCO!
Don't get me wrong, there are times when I love the screen, but it's when I'm in the shade or at night, or the sun is in front of me and not behind or above me!
C'mon, MOCO! You had some great ideas with this thing, but placement and angle of placement should have been at the top of your priorities!
