Apologies if it is��

Is it legal ? Thought you had to have white , front facing,?

Is speeding legal

Is a non-standard number plate legal

Is a dark visor legal

Is parking on the pavement (with hazards flashing, natch) legal

Does it really matter if it is or isn't as the OP lives in Portugal, where they eat cats and he thinks it looks the dog's, which is all that he wants to share by way of joy.

Just ordered one. Thanks

Its like having a top LED headlight and making it look like a very poor bulb light again?
I don't see the point??

 

[JJH]

Why would you? JJH

 

[MF-Racing]

Protects the expensive headlight and the amber makes you more visible. Why wouldn't you?

 

[JJH]

Amber? No way. I can see the point of it in clear. How much light is lost trough the tint? JJH

My ? Isn’t answered in either of those links. I agree it might make you easier to bee seen but by how much is the lights ability to show you what’s ahead of you decreased? JJH

 

[Pit]

Don´t forget that the yellow part only afects the daylight driving light wich main function is to let you be seen not to light the road, the driving and high beam stay clear, about the legality of it, I´m not really sure but there are recent bikes that already come with them, the africa twin is one as the front blinkers are always on.
Well back to eating my cat

Not sure what you are on about? The amber part is only over the DRL?

I think you will find that this is THE LINK to ebay you want - not the one above.

interesting.. so amber is seen more, but does it de-grade the light output just putting a amber filter in front of the existing light?.. would of thought where they come with the bike, the light output would be designed to cover the lost watts going through the filter?

Isn't pink better still.. or is that just clothing?.. you could get a pink one

I have the clear one on my bike and did have the indicators on my Bandit on a low light setting.. but had to turn them off for the MOT or they would not pass it??...
