    Nice if they would but unlikely as it’s a 2014 bike, even though it has less than 6000 miles and further, I suspect the problem was caused by the Zero Gravity double bubble focusing yesterday evening’s vicious sun.

    The dash looks to be still working, I just need to find time during today’s oven-like heat to go test the shift lights are still working.

    I am debating booking Bedford for Monday…

    Seen that happen with some aftermarket screens. They manage to focus the sunlight oike a magnifying glass.

    The genuine Honda one for the ‘17 blade comes with an internal visor because of this problem

    Jesus never seen that before!! Most screens have a blacked out section down at the pointy end and yours doesn't seem to have that from what I can see??

    Yes the original does have that. This is a double bubble from Zero Gravity, and it doesn't have that. I guess that's why it happened. I should probably ask @vic_ster51 if he has a binnacle unit available.

    You could probably do it yourself with some vinyl sunstrip you can get for cars, maybe even the type that has a gradient like what people used in the 80s!!!;):D Screenshot_20220814-193509_eBay.jpg

    When parking up some people leave their gloves over the screen I saw a guy last week on a 899 where the screen had done the same ...

    Yeah had a couple of Puig screens that came with a visor. Never stuck one on before as I'd never really thought it could happen until now. ;)
