    Headlight protection and other advantages

    I've been wanting something to protect the headlights on my AT for some time now. You can generally get mesh or plexiglass solutions.

    But in looking, and reading about night riding I wanted some way of standing out, and not looking like part of any cars I might be in front of. Powerbronze seem to have the solution:



    The company does lots of different colours, but yellow is legal and it fits all of my requirements.

    Anyone else have any thoughts?

    What about blue bulbs for your headlights? In Motrax's booklet they've also got an "Ultra Blue" variant too, which are also road legal. I was told by the guy in the shop that, despite being blue in colour to everyone else, your beam actually comes out as white!

    Blue headlights on what looks to be a black and gold bike that also has a green screen? Sorry, but that definitely DOESN'T go! One thing though, why put a green windscreen on a black and gold bike?

    Cie, I like it, especially the idea of standing out from cars. Is it AT specific and how much are they?

    Nope, they make them for all bikes.

    Have a look at http://www.powerbronze.co.uk/home.html there's a search tool on the left, that shows everything that they make for your bike.

    Those covers cost..... £20!

    If you're gonna go down that route, get some of these bad boys, and fry oncoming traffic into submission.
