Tank bib

While chatting on another board I mentioned that I put a windshield on my '96 Magna. No I get a very strong reflection of the top of the tank. The gas cap is right in my line of sight and seems to mess with my ability to focus on the road ahead.
I was thinking of using a tank bag while running this shield. Memphis Shades removable. Some one suggested a tank bib like used on Valkeries. Is there something like that for the Magna or will the Valks fit? And any suggestions on were to find.
Thanks

This is a little off your question but maybe helpful.  If you change the angle of the windshield you maybe able to get rid or change the location of the reflection.
A lot of the shields mounting hardware has enough to angle the shield back closer to you and should alleviate this problem.  As well as any wind buffeting you maybe experiencing.
I say this as on my 96 that I previously owned I experienced both and this cured the issue for me.
Hope this helps.

I've also thought about that but don't see anyway with this one. It's a removable from Memphis Shades.
