Eyewear for full-face helmets

[SeaSteve]

I've had real problems with clearly seeing signs on my previous Honda VTX 1800. I wear bifocals and have Scorpion EXO helmets with "KwikFit" pads for glasses. I could see okay but not read street names of road numbers until it was too late.

Changing to the F6B with the 12" Baggershield windshield fixed everything. No problems now at all.

I tried bifocal and monofocal contacts for several weeks each, but just never got used to them.

Tried them back in the 80's, couldn't stand them. Was living in Colorado at the time, my contacts dried out on my bike the whole time. Since I've always work on my own vehicles, I couldn't stand crap falling in my contacts under the laying under the vehicle, and the solutions for them for a year cost more than the glasses did. Thant that's just me,
But that is a good solution for other folks.

Contact lenses have come a long way since the 80's. Much more comfortable; I use the Acuvue Moist Daily's.

There are bifocal contacts available also.

Yes, I've seen that but they are a bit more pricier.

My learning curve with the Monovision took 2 weeks. Then my brain finally adapted to them.
