What sunglasses do you guys wear while driving your cafe racer?

Honestly, when Im wearing a 3/4 occasionally, I just wear KDs. They kinda look like wayfarers... But theyre only $8 a pop (which is why I llike them) so when I inevetably lose/break/forget/scratch them, its no biggie.
 
No luck. I just went in to pick up my new glasses and they weren't right. It was like looking through a fish bowl. I asked them to double check the glasses before I left and sure enough the focal point of the lense was a full 10mm lower than it should have been! What a cock up that was.

Flat black Oakley Holbrook, I like the look. If I'm out on the hiway on my Harley Street Bob I usually wear sunglass style goggles to keep my eyes from watering.
 
Oakley Gascans. Flat black. They are my first pair of Rx sunglasses. I love that. I am not sure why I waited so long to do that.

Great minds, and all that...
I just ordered my first pair of prescription sunglasses (after 42 years) and picked flat-black GasCans with R28 black iridium lenses. 8)
 
If you're looking for retro....try Leon Jeantet Aviators.
Comes in tinted and mirror too.

The hardcord, riders & choppers are pretty dope. They sell some googs too. be careful about buying the dark variety because they are FUCKING DARK. You will ride into the shade, go blind and then crash/burn/die...unless you live super blackness...then it's probably for you...
 
I don't wear 'em. They restrict my peripheral vision. I've been thinking about getting a tinted visor though.
 
I tried riding with my Rayban aviators one time. They may keep the sun out of your eyes really well, but
on that particular windy & dusty fall day, I learned to never to that again. Just after a short ride to work and
back, I spent the next week looking like I had pinkeye. I have some Arnettes that I've been wearing for years,
and they're awesome. At night- I bust out the cheap safety glasses from Lowes.
 
If you wear them under a full face helmet, that isn't a problem. ;) Of course some people just use a tinted shield, but I find it's easier to stow sunglasses after than an extra shield.
