While sitting in the CanAm the other day, it was aimed in such a way, that I realized that I had never seen, or have read about sun visors on an Ultima.
It was the overhead shop lights that brought this to my attention.
Any comments

I believe that Ray Ban and Oakley provide a decent alternative

Hi Jack:

It seems to me that there is a large sun shade (cling or sticker) that the factory can provide for the top of the windshield. Although not a visor it should be of some help. I requested and received one for my GTR but have yet to get that far in the build. I'm sure some of the guys have these and could comment on their usefulness. Good Luck.

Thanks Brad
I've think I know what you're talking about. Let's see what Europe has to say. It would only be a problem in the morning and evening.
I'd rather not have to install a visor. There are some small aircraft ones that might work if necessary.
Obviously when I have the cut-down track windscreen installed, the Ray Bans will be brought into action.

I've seen the sun in Europe (the French and Italian Riviera), but not that much in the British Isles.
Please, let's not start something again!!!

Its bitchin this time of year in the UK, low sun position, damp roads with lots of glare
Not a time of year i would want to risk an Ultima on our roads.
You could use a standard Wipac sun visor (sold off the shelf) they come in green tinted perspex or soft plastic or even the cloth filled soft jobbies.

Thanks UltimaAnimal
Sounds like a good possibility. I've never heard of Wipac. How can I find them?
thanks

Thanks for the link.
Found some real sharp lights, but no luck on visors.
