Is it possible to magnify the speedometer without cooking it.
plastic magnification sheet ?
Thanks
Bifocals for the speedo? Wouldn't a set of those spiffy safety glasses with cheater bifocals (~10) work?
For a dollar or two more, you can get shades......
I put an arrow at the most prevalent speed limit, I don't have to look at the speedo much anymore.
You could try a variation of this screen magnifier.http://www.expressmounts.com/ram-mount-big-screen-magnifier-ram-mag-1u.html
Thanks for all the great suggestions
I'm behind a windshield and a face shield wearing prescription progressive transition glasses and it works.
This is so YMMV! I've worn progressive lenses for years, very happily. I tried them while riding, and, for me, it was just awful. The constant head movement, necessary to maintain focus, was a problem on the bike: I felt like my peripheral vision had become non-existant, and I began to feel nauseated as well. I went right back to bifocals in that environment, and they work very well for me. My riding glasses are heavily tinted; I avoid riding after dark.
Riders who wear glasses while riding can get stick-on "readers" to cope with presbyopia.
Lasik or PRK?
Can work well, on several levels.
I recalled seeing a sheet-type magnifier at Staples, and just searched for magnifier. Credit card and letter size are available.
These are a form of Fresnel lens. A simple lens is thick, but if you cut circles around the centre, you can collapse the lens to make it flat.
From experience, there is some magnification when the magnifier is laid flat on a page. More power when held a bit off the page.
For about $4, you can get a credit card sized unit and try it out. If too small, get the page size and cut the size you need from the centre of the sheet,
