If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Hey guys, I've searched the forum but haven't found what I'm looking for, so here goes.

Does anyone have a good source for headlight shields/guards like this: https://www.dimecitycycles.com/suzuki-motorcycle-parts.html?cat=2173

I love the look, and will probably just make my own but I'd like to see what's out there.

Also, does anyone sport the black X on their headlight? What did you use for it?

Cheers
 
I was always under the impression that the black X was the old version of taping the complete light in current time track days to keep glass from scattering in the event of a wreck.
 
Agree about the "X". Not sure why you'd want it on a street bike.

About the screen? I clean the bugs and dirt of my light about every time I stop. I can't imagine putting something over the light that would prohibit me from doing that. Besides, I haven't seen a rectangular screen. :-\\\

Of course, I haven't even bothered to look for one, based on the reason stated above.

So you just want a cover for the aesthetic value?

I did say I liked the look of the screen/guard, but function as well if they work?

Good point about the bugs, I was thinking more about road debris.

That was my impression as well, just curious if anyone was actually riding with it (can't see it being anything but a hindrance for street riding).
 
Yes, you did say you liked the way they look, and yes, I'm suggesting that that is about all they are good for-unless you are riding gravel roads or running over zombies.
 
I once had these on a Nissan pickup truck years ago. For the same reasons Steve stated, they didn't stay on for long.
