GSXR head light cover

[EllioTT_GiXXeR]

Hi i ordered alot of mods for the bike today, prob weeks wages worth.

Went to order the headlight cover for a 05 gixxer and i dont have a clue what colour to do it in, the front end is Blue but i find the blue cover abit tackey,i really wanted white to make it look more racer type but wouldnt match the blue front end.

Any one got ideas or pictures of different colours? i have tryed looking on ebay and other places but cant findd any.

thanks.

i have a light smoked headlight cover for my mille
looks the bizz
i picked light smoke because i want folk to see me coming
if you go silly with white or really heavy colours you've less chance of those dozy car drivers noticing your headlight

I want one that blocks the light out, and so i can take it off if i need to for night time riding.

Seems hard to get the look you need.

Cant have white since it wont suite the bike (pic)

Your right marc i think it does increase your chances of beening seen by other drivers by about 30% i think? not sure, i have been riding for 4 years on the road and have never came off once.

If anyone has a picture of different colours on the bikes then i would be greatfull.

Only takes one idiot to not see you and its u who gets the bad end of the deal. And yea I surpose lights on even during the day does help a bit but to be honest I cant really see it helping u that much apart from when u follow a car before u overtake it then atleast the driver should see u more easyier with ur lights on.

I think it would look alright in white but if not then I'd say black.

[marc_yorks]

i'm all for safety
lights on in the daytime and my flourecent pink fluffy cat suit on over my leathers
at least if i die i'll look hot

I was talking to a guy with an SP2 in red. he got told off many times by the police for his covers, and he often forgot to take them off at night.

His solution was to buy some clear ones, and have the garage spray the INSIDE of them red, appart from a small gap at the top. This left them with a gloss laquerd look from the outside, and side lights

I got a orange one on mine, mainly because it's road legal and only cost £5 in a bargain bucket. Used it when I went on a Bikesafe, asked the cop and he said it was fine. Yellow ones are fine too.

But it sounds like you want something more tarty, Just get a Blue/Black one.

A totally transparent headlight cover is the only legal one. Anything else is asking to get pulled in my opinion but hey!... It's your money.

go for dark blue or black I reckon white would look sweet if you painted a number board round the headlight.

Its pronounced Jixxer!

I know several traffic cops that would pull you for having one, something about obscuring the headlight irrelevant of whether its daylight or not.

Not sure of the in's and outs. Know several people been stopped for it, if your running a race can/small plate I wouldnt risk it.

Orange or Yellow to make it endurance looking i say?

I think headlight covers look shite. Even clear 1's up close look like bits of tat velcro'd to what is usually a lovely sculptured areodynamic piece of design. Ruins the flow and the dynamic of the nose fairing.

I think the bike looks great as it is.

[GearboxGeezer]

Why would they pull u over, ur allowed to ride without a headlight on the front of the bike at all, the only light u need during day time is a brake light.

Was watching one of them police programes the other day, they pulled a rider over and called in some sort of "bike police expert" to see if the like was legal to ride on the road since it only had a brake light. The expert guy said it was legal when he looked over it but since it took so long for the expert guy to get there it turned dark and the guy had to get his mate with a trailor to pick him up which I think was a proper cunt.

If I'm being honest, I care what it looks like!

Some mods I like, some I don't.

In 10 years on the road, I've never had a headlamp smashed by a stone, nor know of anyone who has. I'm probably temting fate, but there you go. I'm sure there are people on here who have had them smashed, but I'm just going by my own experience.

For the same reason that I think they look naff, I also don't cover my fairings in protective film, 'just in case' they get chipped by stones. Where do you draw the line?

[Fruit'n'nut]

Fair enough
