I didn't want this, so just stuck with clear. Downside though is it is not clip-on clip-off, so a bit of a pain to clean the actual headlight lens. I am happy tho that it gives the protection wanted.

Thank you for posting. A couple of "things". I am interested in your opinion of having the metal protector in front of your headlight. I shied away from it, thinking it would cast shadows on the road at night. I have the clear carbonate protector from a different brand. Also, although you are a motorcycle channel, I would not mind a quick tour (hint, hint) of your VW Van which keeps showing up in the background of your videos. :)

Bruce, I love all of your videos, comments and suggestion BUT.... I have to disagree with your comment ‘nice and easy’ in this vlog. I spent about 4 hours fitting mine and about 3 hours or more was due to the fact that the hexagon nut on the lower bracket was an ‘absolute nightmare’ to insert into the hole on the bike. This part (and only this part) which is right at the start of the fitting of the headlight protector has an extremely bad design flaw in relation to the hexagon nut on the side bracket. Yourself in this video and Lonerider recommend using sticky tape to hold the nut in place to help when placing the bracket into the bike. I tried this and ended up using various types of sticky tape and I had about 40 attempts (at least) and it did not work for me. In the end, out of sheer frustration and desperation I finally decided to super glue the nut to the bracket and I am happy to say that it was an immediate success. Like you say in your video the Lonerider headlight protector is overall and excellent piece of kit in regard to the aesthetics and style and also the superb quality of the materials and the finish BUT... the company desperately need to change the design of the hexagon nut and bracket section. I am so, so sorry to have a whinge and a moan BUT.... it was after all, this video clip that convinced me to buy it and even with the struggles I experienced I have to be honest and say that I am so glad that I did.

Hello John, I’m sorry to hear you had such a nightmare with the Hex-nut, it really wasn’t an issue for me once I used the gaffa-tape to hold it in place 🤷‍♂️ I’m glad you still like the product though, despite all your issues with that part of fitting. Cheers for now, Bruce 👍

@teapotone
@teapotone 4 жыл бұрын
Strictly speaking no the grill won’t, that’s why they don’t advise using it at night and the LoneRider one comes with the option to use both the clear Perspex and grill options at the same time - you just flip the grill down for night use (I only installed the grill as I’m happy tide at night with it if needed). It’ll depend entirely on where you get it mot’d as to whether they just mention it or refuse to pass it with the grill in place. I’d simply pop the grill off for the mot, then pop it back on afterwards - same as many people do with aftermarket exhausts and small number plates 🤷‍♂️👍

teapotone Saw that yesterday with Chops, all those negative comments completely undeserved when all he was doing was an honest review. He took the discount code down eventually after all the commentary. Very unfair and nasty. 😡😡🤬🤬

£163.97 for a small amount of metal and a few small bits of plastic? I agree entirely the £1000 headlight replacement costs are expensive and some protection would be beneficial, but, £163.97 for ultimately a few small materials seems completely extortionate!!

It’s a lid of money certainly, but the nearest main player is Touratech and theirs is £100 for EITHER the clear Perspex or the grill options, so you’d be £200 if you got both. I think there are much cheaper options available online, but I’ve never tried them and I’d also be questionable of their quality at low cost - could be wrong though obviously. Personally I’m happy to spend my money on quality, and if a company goes to the effort of mass producing something, researching a quality fitting process, investing in the marketing and PR to get it out there to the masses, then I don’t expect bargain basement prices 🤷‍♂️👍

Yep totally agree, but it’s something you defo need to think about as a cracked headlight will cost you a LOT more. Touratech doneitger a clear or grill protector for £99.50 each, but not a combined system like this one offers 🤷‍♂️ I had the Touratech grill one on my last two but prefer the look of the Line Rider one with the amber insert

@@teapotone fair enough, just had a word with a friend who makes plasma cut steel ornaments and showed him this.

Of course it’s taken as a negative, how else do you expect us to take that? But let’s look at it: The Headlight Guard: I make 0 from that, I was given their kit to try and if I like it I make a vid on it, which I’ve done. I don’t even have an affiliate link for it so the only revenue is Adsense - a pittance. SuperShield Automotive vid: I make 0 from that, in fact YOU get a 10% discount because of my vid, but I make NOTHING. I did a vid on it as Pete is my friend and I believe it’s a fantastic product. Skutrnet Servo Buddy: I PAID for this myself and have no connection with the company, I make NOTHING from this vid. Pactalk Bold: it’s the best Comms unit on the market and whilst I make a commission on any sale via my affiliate link, YOU save up to 20% off rrp. Calimoto: you get a months free trial, I make NOTHING from each sale. Hmmm, yeah I’m a sell out, I understand your point there Dave 🤔 🤷‍♂️ Not entirely sure how people who make derogatory comments on any activity that either promotes a product and/or invites a sale via an affiliate link, expect us to make a living here? This content costs you NOTHING to watch after all. Such a shame social media invites this kind of ridiculous negativity from some people, yet unbelievable levels of support and positivity from others. Focus on the good bud 👍

Aye totally, but there’s no way I could own a new bike every few years personally if I didn’t do PCP so it facilitates what I want to do and what I want to ride - each to their own bud. Yep, totally agree with you there on the headlight cost, but all the big hitting ‘adventure’ bikes are stupidly priced these days. There’s certainly cheaper options available though for sure
