Driving Light Protectors

[mrmaggit]

Anybody thats interested, Skidmarx do a pair of 5.5" clear headlight protectors for the driving lights on the Griff. Got a set at the NEC Bike Show the other week, fit at treat, £18.00, (+£3.00 p&p if reqd.). Better than £50 for a new light unit.

Skidmarx are on 01305-780808. End of Public Service Announcement.

Maggit,
Hope you and Lorraine are well.
How do they fix? Do they sit under the rubber band?

I've had Armorfend light film fitted for years. It looks better and doesn't discolour.

Available from Armourfend directly IIRC and pretty cheap too.

Rubber Band?

They come complete with 8 pairs of clear Velcro tabs, and are a little bigger than the lights, so that any stones hitting the edge will still miss the light unit.

Maggit,
Thanks for that. Will have to look next time we see you.
If you take the light out there is a black rubber piece which goes around the unit between the glass and the steel backing which seems to hold it all together. I'm sure it has some other function - maybe stop it rattling or protect the paintwork??

If anyone's interested I know where you can get ones that fit under the black rubber and have no velcro stuff, cheap too from what I can remember

[mrmaggit]

Yes, the rubber's there to protect the filament from vibration.

Do SkidMarx also do driver/passenger seat protectors?

[mrmaggit]

No, but they do do huggers.

[jigs]

Do you mean Huggies?

[mrmaggit]

No, huggers. And belly-pans, fairings, fender-extenders and screens.
