nklr: headlamp protection

[JSherlockHolmes@aol.com]

Does anyone remember the tubular Grill style head lamp protector that used to be offered for the KLR. I think it attached through the fairing, around the headlamp. I think it was from the late 80's to the middle 90's. I also think the mfg. was Lochart Phillips, but I am not positive. Anyway, if anyone remembers those, have you seen one in your local shop lately? Know of any place where I might get one? Does anyone have one that they don't want, and are willing to sell? Thanks, Jim Sherlock

Jim, Are you talking about a grill that just covers the headlamp, or something with more protection around the light like the ones I've seen on some older Beemer GS models? If you're just looking for a grill to protect the headlamp, try your local auto parts store. They sell square grills for car/truck headlamps in either chrome or black. A pair is probably worth 10 bucks or less. Seems to me someone mentioned this a couple of weeks back and that they were easy to mount, with a little modification. The ones I used to have on my old Ranger could be easily flipped up so you could clean the headlight if req'd. I'd planned on doing this mod the other day, but forgot to pick up the parts when I was down getting stuff for my car. Cheers, D. GBG eh14

Same experience here. Checked 7 auto parts stores one afternoon (including NAPA). Nobody had any clue what I was tlaking about. Seems like I did see this produuct in the new Aerostich catalog. Mike
