Headlight rubber surrounds
Are the rubber surronds around the headlight necessary or not? Can i go without or do i have to have them?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Headlight rubber surrounds
depends if you want to use it at night, mine without them shines quite a lot round the cockpit without them which I find pretty distracting

Or cut up some push bike inner tubes. You don't see them in the end, so it doesn't matter too much.banoffee wrote:someone on here suggested bicycle rim tape a while ago

I got on okay without them for a good while. Can be picked up from David Silver Spares if you stick in the part code. Grab the microfiche pdf and have a look

The headlight surrounds are discontinued.
No longer produced by Honda.
Im currently in the hunting a pair down for myself.
Checked many dealers across the UK also David Silver, None have any in stock im 'fraid!

Re: Headlight rubber surrounds
i made mine from grey foam pipe insulation stuff cut into strips and glued. i glued it direct to the lights (used exterior mastic so it can be easily removed from glass) and shaped it so the fairing slips over snugly. its easy to trim when in place and i aint had any probs.
