Kawasaki Night Vision System

A mighty fine bike its on too, Ive been watching this for a while now and it looks like we will be able to put the night vision on our 08 Concours I think they are working on lights that turn with steering movement too for the Concours.

I'm not so sure about doing it at open road speeds but for a setting sun on the commute you can put a bit of dark tape (masking, insulation, duct) around the bottom of your visor then when you hit the sun (don't touch it, it will be hot) you raise your visor to the point where the tape blots out the direct sunlight. Either that or put the strip at the top of the visor and then just drop your head to the right angle when required.It's not perfect but it's not bad.

Yep, great idea tape around the bottom. Now all I need is something for visor down. Thanks. I'd seen the tape up the top idea but that doesn't cut down the glare.

If anyone is interested in what this night vision trickery is like in real life, here's a clip of the Mercedes version:

My (work) helmet has night vision. Not suitable for motorcycle use though.

What happens when two vehicles with this approach each other - does one cars/bikes infra red swamp the others and cause a white out on the display?

Kawasaki set to debut ... collision avoidance technology

I think I already have that on my bike.

It's called the handle-bars and brakes.
