Just don't look at it, look at the road instead!     


You're absolutely right, however, if you're going to have a display, might as well do it right. Is there any way to adjust the angle of the display? Being 6' tall, I find I have to tilt my head down to read it, but it would be nice if I could just look down with my eyes instead.

with my 696, once I spray painted the inside of the fairing black, it made reading the display a lot easier.  FYI,  I'm 6'1", and yes, I have to glance down to see the display.

Great idea! I can see how that would work because the reflections and shadows were definitely part of the problem.

Went by to see the 796 yesterday. My dealer decided to not bring it in as a demo, so this one is for sale.
observations without riding it. The seat is much more comfortable than my 696. Wider rear tire, like the rims with stripes,  SSS, different bar + added riser. plenty more blacked out bits.
