Digital Dash

[sledge]

i got a question if anybody has any ideas .. I ride a 1986 Aspencade SE-I with a Digital Dash . i am 65 years old , still don't have to wear glasses to ride or drive , BUT my vision is not as good as it once was . me and my wife rode about 300 miles yesterday , and most of the time , I could bearly at best see the numbers and things in the Dash ..like when the Sun was on the Dash . does anybody know how that works ??? would a brighter light bulb help this problem ??? or do I just need a Brighter Bulb in my HEAD ???? :smilie_happy:

I ride an 86 Aspy with the digital dash, wear bifocals and have the same problem when the sun is in the right position. I've wondered if there was a remedy myself.

If it is due to glare, there are companies that make anti-glare sheeting

The digital dash in my 86A is difficult to read when the sun shines on it. Manufacturing defect, I think. Can't be my 68 year old eyes and bifocals, no way!!

Changing the angle of it some might just fix most of the problem. No idea how to intensify clarity.

well..........changing the angle would be a heck of a job i think , i was thinking when i was out riding today , maybe make something to reach out over the top more , to Shade the screen more .. might test it , held in place by Velcro or something . . . just a thought . :hi:

Shade will likely help at least some. Yes I'm sure the mounts would need some sort of adapter added to remount the dash at a different angle.

yeah , and there ain't much room around the Dash , it was designed to sit just like it is , like somebody said it was just a poor design , and I have thought maybe it was designed by somebody a lot smaller or shorter than me who would have been looking at it from a slightly Lower Angle , but... there is always a way . opcorn:
