mattemike Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Can you pull it in completely without hitting the controls cluster? Any adjustment was necessary? Yes I can pull it in without issue. I've nerve damage in left arm making it difficult to extend my fingers to squeeze the clutch lever. That's why I rely on adjustable levers & short ones work best for me.

michel Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Melted dash. 28-30 Celsius, probably happened at work is my guess. Outside for 8 hour shift. Ermax Touring clear screen: :'( Ahh. That must have been caused by lensing of sunlight through the windshield. It may be that the Ermax's shape and the refraction rate of the material was enough, with the sun at just the right angle, to create a good focus. I've never seen anything like that, crazy. Message to ebay sellers and others please design and fabricate good quality and easy to install sun shades for our bikes's intrument clusters. I will buy one for shure thanks.

As I posted previously, you can make one yourself in a few minutes. I probably spent all of 15 minutes making mine, and it would be even less now that I've done a couple of them. A couple of people have said that I should manufacture and sell them, but what I made isn't quite up to what I'd consider commercial quality (for instance, cuts were made with scissors so they're not perfectly straight), and to make it worth my time I'd have to charge too much for it, and I'd feel bad about that because it's *really* easy to make one. The ABS plastic I used is probably even more susceptible to melting than is the dash display, though. Of course, it's also a heck of a lot less expensive to replace. When I get around to making version 2 I'll post a template. Another thing you could do, rather than adding a sun shade on the cluster, is to either paint or use a strip of contact paper on the lower part of the windshield. That would stop the lensing effect at its source. 2015 FJ-09 (Mary Kate) 2007 Daytona 675 (Tabitha, ret.) 1998 Vulcan 800 (Ret.) 2001 SV650S (Veronica, Ret.) 2000 Intruder 800 (Ret.)

Premium Member wessie Posted June 1, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 1, 2015 or buy a tinted screen... This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number8teen Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Speaking of tinted screens, my powerbronze came in the mail this weekend. Edit: While it is better than no screen at all, I still think it's super boxy. Hoping someone comes out with a rounded shorty sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
