An important item to have while out riding is eyewear. Harley performance eyewear is designed exclusively for motorcycle riders, providing the best in comfort, protection and style.

A clear and accurate field of vision is critical while riding. Carl Zeiss Vision Sunless (industry leader in optical technology) conducted studies of eye movement in traditional lens technology and revealed that lenses, especially those in wrap frames, typically cover only 80 degrees of straight-ahead visual space. Our patented Enhanced Vision System (EVS) provides increased directional accuracy in straight-ahead and peripheral vision, including optimum optical power in wrap frames by allowing you to see objects not in the normal field of view and therefore more of the road while riding., correcting vision across the entire lens to drastically decrease prismatic distortion, providing 20% wider field of vision from edge to edge, as compared to conventional lenses.

Choosing the right lens is important. Different lenses provide different benefits depending on the conditions while riding. Smoke lenses provide the truest picture of actual light that you are seeing, and are best for riding in sunny conditions. Yellow decreases haze and makes objects appear sharper with more contrast - great for increased depth perception in foggy and low light conditions (like rainy weather). Interchangeable lenses is a multi-lens system, allowing you to change the lenses to suit your riding needs. They come with a smoke lens and clear lens. Day/Night lenses transition from clear to dark when exposed to sunlight, eliminating the need to change lenses for different lighting conditions. Prescription lenses are custom-made for those who wear prescription glasses or contact lenses. Prescription is available for single vision lenses only and not available in all Harley frames.

New for 2012, a high performance anti-fog coating has been added to all lenses. Fogging is caused by a difference in air moisture and/or temperature and the lens. This permanent anti-fog technology keeps lenses clearer by minimizing the build up of moisture condensation on lenses that cause fogging.

All Motorclothes eyewear have a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase against manufacture defects under normal use. Coverage is valid only with proof of purchase. The warranty does not cover scratched lenses. Replacement lenses are available for purchase.

Fun fact : Did you know polarized lenses can create double-vision when looking through Lexan windshields and/or face shields because Lexan is already meant to cut distortion. Riders should wear non-polarized lenses to avoid this condition.

The Spring Black Label Line Arrives at Liberty

Spring Mens Black Label
The Black Label Collection for men has a unique, authentic heritage Harley style, with the nostalgic look and feel of classic vintage 50's streetwear. The look may have a retro touch, but the fit, slim and modern. The "slim cut" is narrow through the chest, shaped at the sides, with a narrower sweep at the hip. Right off the rack, they look worn, comfortable and already broken in. Tough. Timeless. Understated.


Spring Womens Black Label
The Black Label Collection for women is edgy, rebellious, glitzy, and feminine. There's a new silhouette - longer length, figure hugging and fashion-forward. Washes and graphics add a splash of color, and the Harley-Davidson branding is present, but subtle.

Krawiec Wins an All-Harley Final at Gainesville Drags

GAINESVILLE, FL (March 12, 2012) - Riding a Harley-Davidson® V-Rod® motorcycle, Krawiec opened the defense of the Pro Stock Motorcycle championship he won last season by leading each round of qualifying, winning four rounds of eliminations, and setting a new national elapsed-time (ET) record for the class. According to the NHRA, Krawiec is only the second racer to score the maximum 150 points available for a race weekend since the organization started awarding bonus points for qualifying.

There was anticipation before the Gatornationals that Krawiec, who set the class speed record of 199.26 mph at last year’s event, could be the first Pro Stock Motorcycle rider to break the 200-mph barrier during the weekend. Instead, the two-time champion took his V-Rod to a new ET record of 6.750 seconds in the third round of qualifying on Saturday, breaking the record of 6.777 seconds set by Lucas Oil Buell rider Hector Arana at Gainesville in 2011.

“I guess if I could have run 200 here it would have been the perfect weekend and I could just retire,” said Krawiec, who also became the first Pro Stock Motorcycle racer to win the season opener at Gainesville in three consecutive seasons. “Unfortunately we didn’t get 200, so I’m not going to retire. We had a great off-season and my V-Rod was running well right off the truck. It’s a nice way to start defending our championship. I’m really excited about this season.”
