Glare Off Black Diamond Tank?
« on: March 04, 2013, 02:59:38 AM »
Ordered a Black Diamond yesterday and I have a question for all owners.  In the bright sun is there a problem with glare coming off all the chrome on the tank?

I have a black diamond Breakout and have never had a problem with glare.
You will probably have problems with glare and stare from people looking at your bike. It happens often.

You'll love the bike, so much un to ride :orange:

The dealership already had them on order but unsold.  They have one coming in next week that is also unsold.  That was a little quick for me, I need to sell my FLHTK before I close the deal.  They said that they are the largest CVO dealership in the U.S..  They have my Black one and a Red one coming in around the first of May.

In the Hawaiian sun it's a non-issue.

After doing plenty of riding the last several days I have noticed no glare from the tank (liquid sun) but I do get some from handlebars and from headlight housing.

Was a concern of mine too .... But in the African Sun (take that Hawaii!) it hasnt been a problem to date ... the riding position is high enough that any glare doesnt come up to eye level ... what is interestig (and fun!) is at night when riding the front indicators light up off the chrome and its like a discoteque when using the indicator ... guys behind me have also complained of the glare off the bike, but thats their problem .. not mine ! 8)
