Consumer Description

2006 STRATOLINER "S" HAS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH SPEEDOMETER LIGHT GLARE REFLECTING OFF OF THE FACTORY WINDSHIELD. THE GLARING LIGHT WHICH REFLECT IS SO BAD, I NEARLY CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE LATE AT NIGHT. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP TO MY DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT YAMAHA FAILS TO LISTEN AND CREATE A SPEEDOMETER GLARE SHIELD TO PREVENT THE BRIGHT SPEEDOMETER LIGHT FROM REFLECTING ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE PROBLEM IS SO SEVERE THAT ALL STRATOLINER OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS IN ALL ONLINE YAMAHA FORUMS. WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?! THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA BEFORE! DOES ONE OF US, STRATOLINER OWNERS, HAVE TO DIE??
