    Hiding that ugly lighthouse beacon of a headlight

    I own an 1150 es and the only bad thing I hear about its apppearence is its huge headlight.
    I work in plastics and got a hold of some tinted (gray) 20mil clear polycarbonate I cut a circle in the diameter of the headlight and glued three layers of it together till I got the desired tint. I fastened it to my fairing with velcro and at night I remove it and tuck it behind the windshield (also tinted dark) with the velcro.
    I ran out of season before I got to test the fastening system really well,but it stayed on up to 120 and I think it will work fine. This only took me ten minutes to make and if there is interest from fellow gsr's I might make some more. I dont think any body is still manufacturing these any more, if someone is let me know.
    The improvement in looks is outstanding and If I get my digital camera for x-mas Ill post a picture of my bike with it on

          Why cover it up?

          The huge headlight on the 1150 is what gives it it's personality, It strikes fear into the hearts the on coming winnie bikes!!
          I love the headlight on my 1150 - I say let it Shine !!! the bigger the better !!!
          Nothing looks worse than all of those new bikes with one headlight on and the other off ? what up with that ?
