Lexan Headlight protector, who makes it?

[jettcity1]

The one I like is mounted on the front using hardware that extends forward of the lens surface using "stand-offs" or spacers. I would like to know who makes it as I have actually seen it on a bike at the show.
My luck, its unavailable but I figure I would check here and see if anyone knew .
thanks.

It's a Yamaha part...As far as I know, It's not available in the States. You will have to purchase from Europe or Canada

Yes, thats the one. Is it the DOT who hasnt approved it or why no U.S. use?
Must be some reason that its not available but it looks like a good accessory.
Is there any other good options? I like to be able to clean it easy.

isn't the light housing itself non-glass...lexan or the like?

why would a person need a cover for it?

Yes the housing is non-glass...however, if you do manage to crack it, the cost to repair is excessive.

I bought the Yamaha part from over seas and I like it. The only other similar light cover that I can think of is this one.

jettcity, I have one on my bike, and like others are saying, we have to get them from Europe. I don't know off hand if Canada is offering them or not. I jsut checked, it is available through Canada.

I didn't put one on my Wing and the sand and small rocks chipped the crap out of it. I'm using the Cee Bailys and would rather throw that out, then buy a new light...

Cee Bailey makes a great product, attaches with 4 3M buttons. This allows it to be removed for cleaning of the headlight itself, as well as the inner and outer of the protector.

I got the Yamaha protector from a shop in Canada, and it has been quite worthwhile so far. Not just for stones/debris, but also for bugs. It's great to be able to pull the protector off, walk into a rest area bathroom, and wash the bugs off in the sink.

Being in the UK, the Yamaha one was fitted when I bought the bike secondhand. It works fine BUT it is clearly marked "NOT FOR ROAD USE" probably because it scatters the headlight beam. If I'm planning a rare night journey I take it off. The marking is probably the reason it isn't DOT approved for the US.

I have the Cee Baily's, works great, no issues.

I have the OEM Yamaha cover, easy on, easy off. I think I paid $125 for it in Canada.
