Reverse polarity LCD Display

i think from what i gathered in all of these LCD display issues is that there is a demand for an anti-scratch, anti-reflective/glare screen protector for the dash
 
Thanks for pointing me to this thread aitormartin. I'm still curious how you got the display cover off and whether it can be done while the cluster is still mounted. Do I just have to carefully pry it up one section at a time until it pops off? As I mentioned elsewhere, there are condensation spots inside that make it hard to read the mileage so I can see how long I have to go until i gas.
 
I don't remember exactly, but I think you have to take the whole thing off. To access the connector you have to loosen the headlight as well.

Once it's off , the celear plastic piece is held by 6 screws. Be carefull with the seal as I mentioned it's quite fragile.

Also, the inside of the clear plastic cover is coated with some kind of clear protector. Be very gentle with it and don't use any cleaning products ( I learnt this the hard way).

I got one of these. Don't get the glass one, as the edges won't seal down because if the curve of the bezel. I have a plastic protector that works great. I will post the brand later and maybe a picture.

I have the one from Speedo Angels on, not the 9H one, because as Vintage Veloce mentions, the hard ones dont work properly due to the curvature.

The one they sent me is more flexible than the 9H one and I have had it on for like a year or so.

Although while riding I dont look at my guages... 🙈 I have absolutely no glare effect when I reset my trip or push the service reset.
It does clean up easy too after attacks from birds and what not... pretty much why I got it.

Would definately recommend Speedo Angels cover, in the regular version and not 9H nano glass version.

(I also would point out that I had very positive experience with Speedo Angels' service and international delivery)
 
I just dug around: the one that i did NOT like was the "Nano 9H Screen Protector Screen Protector".

This is the one that worked well for me, I think it is the same one BISavage recommenced above:

Thanks, I'll start pulling it apart soon, the right way.
 
I know this is an old thread now but thought I'd stop in and post. I did this mod just prior to my posting here. I appreciate aitormartin sharing the process on doing this. I found his way of doing it to be very accurate. Total time for me was about 90 minutes but I took my time and the glue left over from the original filter was very messy and difficult to remove. The alcohol and credit card did work best though. I suppose if you've seen one picture of this mod you've seen them all but here is mine. One with light is just the lights in my garage, not outside in natural daylight. It is hard to not have the glare.

I did this "flip" on a 2nd hand dash for my MT09 and didn't like the results...in daylight it was VERY hard to read so i put the original dash back on.
If your going to go ahead with this mod please be advised.
 
Maybe your MT09 dash is at a different angle than my 2019, but I had zero issues with readability when I when to black with white numbers.

Quite possibly your right. I just know on the MT09 forum ppl said about how good this was but when i actually tried it i was disappointed in the results.
There's other factors.....the brand and quality of the polarizing film...the specific area of the film u choose as the dash.
Lucky for me i was able to swap back to the OEM.
 
What is this witchcraft?

That end result looks great. I would never have thought to rotate the filter.
