I have a problem with glare from the sun reflecting into my windshield which I use in the fully extended position all of the time. With the brushed aluminum finish of the console where the 4 switches are above the ignition switch I am seeing a reflection of that area in the windshield which I find VERY distracting, and in some conditions even a safety issue. I have used a matte black gaffers tape to cover this area and now my reflection is gone. Does Victory make a cover for the console to eliminate this?? Any others experience this?? Thanks!!

there is several options to include ordering black console from Victory. Many has had their's painted, powder coated, laminated, and so on. I solved that problem with a $3.00 can of textured black paint 2 years ago...

Replace gauge bezel with Polaris part # 5437652-070 Bezel, Dial, Trim, Black. Remove center console and have powdercoated black. Bezel cost me $30 and powdercoating was $20

Polarized sunglasses will fix it too.

I was at my Victory dealers yesterday and there were 2 visions in from out of town and both had the carbon wrap done and very nice looking, now I am wanting to do that for my VV.
