Cracked headlight lens *grumble*

[Steve in VT]

I, too, ordered the headlight protector from Cee Bailey. The first one they sent was too flat. I complained, and they sent me another one with the proper "deep dish" shape. It's worked well for 2 years, but now the velcro (?) tabs are losing their grip. The lens has fallen off twice in the last week - maybe the 90-degree heat has something to do with it. The second time it fell off when I crossed some tracks and landed on the front fender, where it bounced around for a few seconds while I made a desperate grab for it with my clutch hand. With 4 lanes of traffic whizzing by, I managed to reach it and shoved it inside my jacket. Next job: Replacing the tabs.

Mine has been on since 07. Dang something else to worry about.

Got my new insert. It comes with all three bulbs, $200 at the dealer.

Huh... mine was just the bucket, no bulbs. Also wasn't $200 - maybe ended up being $150 or so.

In Australia, I bought the Ventura headlight protector.
I think it was about $25.00. The brand is from the UK?

The 3M Dual Lock needs to be replaced every now and again; it wears out with use. It is available many places, even Wally World. Goggle is your friend.
