Hi All,
Thanks for the tips on the bark buster install. A
little force certainly IS required to bend them to
shape. They look great. I'm in the process of
trimming down the stock handguards to fit inside the
barkbusters.
Has anyone built a headlight protector? I'm thinking
of a lexan or pexiglass piece to fit over the
headlight. I haven't figured out how to mount it on
yet. 4 standoff bolts in the faring around the
headlight would work, but I don't really want to put 4
holes in my faring if I can find any other way to do
it.
Anyone have any ideas?
John

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you don't want to go the homemade route, check out: http://www.dual-star.com Go to their 'site map' & click on the "Lite Guard" link, or take a stroll thru their "AdventureGear Catalog". Lite Guard is 80 mil thick flexible plastic that sticks to the headlite glass ($12.95). It stops a pellet @ 50 ft (see the review at: http:/www.dualsport.org Click on the "Dual Star Products" link to read the review. BTW, for the newbies on the list, they have quite the assort- ment of tools & usefull goodies. They have an excellent center-stand for the KLR, just in case your cycle isn't quite heavy enough for you. Professor '95 KLR650 A9 Federal Way, WA [USA]>

Attachments :Happy Monday, folks...
I finally came up with a KLR650 headlight guard. I should've taken
pictures of the white one, so they'd be easier to see, dangit. I just
finished a stainless unit too, so I'll take some photos of that and get
them up as soon as I can. Anyway, there are a few more angle views at

I went with expanded sheet rather than cross tubes (a la transalp)
because I felt it offered more protection with less light blockage.

How does it hook on? Don't feel like taking the whole front end off
to install. How much? Thanks.

MWBailey: Installation does not require a degree in rocket science. Dr.
Chris' headlight guard is super simple to hook up with only 3 screws (2 top
left and right and 1 bottom center) he provides that hold the fairing in
place. He seems to believe in the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle. His
Big Cee Engineering website URL is
http://www.galcit.caltech.edu/~stringray/bigcee.html to see pictures of the
whole setup. The price for a standard black unit I believe is now $90. He
has the production system worked out now to provide some variation in
materials, color and design, some of which may cost a little more. Check out
the website. I am sure you will be impressed as I was.

Sorry if I misled you. This should work.
