Just got a '06 VTX 1300 C in Black!!!

Shopping around for some goggles / glasses and helmet.

Since I am getting a half helmet (Shoei ST Cruz) for the summer, I decided to get some Wiley X glasses but they don't quite fit flush against my face. They do for the most part but not completely. Does that matter? Will I get too much wind around my eyes? Any recommendations?

Welcome to the board. Not sure about the glasses, but I ride without a windshield...sometimes....with just prescription glasses. After a lit bit, it seems my eyes adjust. 1st they'll tear like crazy, but after 15-20 minutes I'm fine. I've never had riding glasses except for my regular glasses....this is just my experence....don't know if it'll help.

I'd contact WileyX and see if you can exchange for a better fitting pair.

I had oalkeys, baliy's and a few other really nice glasses, but what I found to work the best is called "wind riders" Found them at walmart for about 13 bucks. This way, WHEN you loose them, they are inexpencive to replace.

check out bobster, they have the arms and a strap. Here is a good example of a lot of glasses for bike riders

I roll with a DOT beanie polo helmet and Bobster glasses with a bandanna over my face when the bugs are out or on the highway. They were 17 bucks so I carry the smoke and clear in my tool bag if I get caught at dusk or night.

I purchased two pair of Wiley X XL-1 on another site I go to based upon rec from other riders. I opened one pair and tried but I had a problem. I wear contacts and they block the wind out so much that my contacts kept getting dry. I tired both at night and day time. They have interchanable lenes one smoke and one yellow polarized. If i didnt wear contact they would be great. Unit has elastic strap and arms are removalble and comes with carry case . I paid 45 for each pair they retail for 70. I will be willing to part with the new pair for 40 and the used once for 30. It will probaly cost any where from 3.50 to 5 dollars for shipping. email me at [email protected] if interesed
