I suspect my stroked 331 is more docile than what you're running...

Backdraft offers an aluminum windshield frame and a chrome over brass windshield frame. The chrome over brass windshield frame is more expensive. Is it worth the extra cost? Is it stronger than the aluminum frame? Will it reduce stress cracks in the windshield? Are both frames the same size and will they readily fit on my one year old backdraft? Are the visors and wind wings interchangeable?

Motorcycle riders have the same problem. Go to a local motorcycle shop and get a pair of motorcycle sunglasses. Some wrap around your face. Others have foam inserts that seal the space between the frame and the face. The inserts can be removed so they are normal sunglasses as well. I couldn't ride my motorcycle without them. I also use them when driving the Cobra.

They are also available in prescription.

They also have plastic bifocal inserts that you just wet and apply to the back of the lens. I put the bifocal inserts on 10 years ago and they stuck like glue. Great for us old people.

Paul_F: Great idea. DD

I recommend a Harley dealership. The Japanese-brand riders tend to go for full-face helmets. So there is likely a better selection at the Harley shop.

I wear classic style motorcycle goggles and a fur lined leather helmet when driving in very chilly weather. Kind of a strange look, but I drive like I dance...like nobody is watching.

Goggles and fur helmet are steam-punk. They are cool.
