I figured out a very simple way to boost my glasses frames up so that they sit much higher on my face.

You take a Breathe-Right strip, fold it in half across the narrow axis before peeling the backing off (to make a sharp peak) and stick it as high up on the bridge of your nose as possible, with the peak pointing up. It winds up a little south of the point directly between your eyebrows.

Then perch the center of your glasses on top of the peak. Friction between the glasses temples and the helmet lining keeps them securely in place.

Voila... lenses are now perfectly placed for the sportbike riding position. No locked elbows, no craned neck.

As I said... super geeky but it works perfectly. Only drawback is that you need to remember to keep a supply of strips handy.
