I have a hotbodies db in dark smoke. I park outside in the sun and I have never had an issue. It's something to do with the sun beams being intensified to get fuage melting. I have only read about it occurring to Hondas maybe it has something to do with the angle of the windscreen and gauges.

A note on the red windscreen, they are technically illegal in Cali. Ryan and I had a chat with a CHP officer about colored windscreens since his Buell comes stock with a red one. Red, blue and yellow are not allowed because the sun can reflect through it and produce that colored light which is reserved only for emergency vehicles. He hasn't had an issue yet with cops on the colored windscreen but figured to let you know about that jut in case you encounter a cranky cop.
