Headlight Protector/Covers. How to attach it successfully!

LotusSevenMan · Post by **LotusSevenMan** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 9:32 pm

I have one of those yellow headlight protector/covers which came with the bike but wasn't attached. It needs the pads to fix it onto the glass. Now I tried a good double sided sticky pad material that I use for a lot of things and it sticks really well, but I hadn't allowed for the heat build-up and it slowly 'streaked' its way down the glass under the effects of gravity (while I was working on it in the garden I might add!).
I have tried on two occasions to contact this eBay seller to see if he does the attaching pads and would sell them as a seperate entity. Result? Nil correspondence back so :mad2 to him!!!

Any good ideas?
Cheers.

I've seen velcro used for this job a few times if that helps

OK; thanks guys 'n' girls.
Must admit the piece that I assume is used to attach the cover in that bloke's advert looks like velcro, but I assumed it wouldn't stick too well due to that heat problem again.
Worth a try I suppose. The yellow one is actually the only legal colour that can be used and looks great with the best colour to have on a 'Storm. No prizes for what colour my bike is then!!!!

i have one of those protectors on my bike, and after changing the headlight was in the same situation of having a cover with the velcro on it and a headlight without.
went to the NEC for the bike show last year and talked to the guys on the pyramid stand, and they had a bag of spare velcro, so contact them or ask if you make it to the show.

Just ordered some white velcro from the inevitable 'eBay'!!! Hope it does the trick!
Cheers.

Arrived today (02-11-06). Looks OK.

Logan7. C'mon. We all know yellow is THE colour for F'S's!!!!

Well it now seems to be 'fixed' in place OK at the moment!

I must say it looks pretty cool, especially compared to the standard light next to it
