BMW Headlight Protector Instructions?

[Marius in Africa]

..........maybe even a couple of extra miles in mpg.

In your dreams.

In your dreams.

Mine too - that slippery headlamp protector must improve the drag coefficient no end.......... Especially when polished for extra smooth airflow.....................

By the way, for the BMW, or any headlight protector, try using Plastidip on the backside of the deflector to eliminate reflection on the windscreen!

Jim,

Plastidip? Please explain yourself - have looked at Plastidip website and not convinced is the same thing.......................

Cheers

I didn't know if I would like it or not, but since I installed it, I really have grown to appreciate it. Easy install.

Jim :cool

Jim will you please explain how I lift, or indeed remove (if it is necessary) the headlight to enable me to fit the two securing arms for the bmw oem headlight guard. Im struggling here.
Thanx

There's a bolt on each side of the headlight that you'll need to remove to allow the headlight to move up.

Yes, and in addition, there is a pin on each side, held with a C-clip from the bottom.

Thanx for the info. Managed to fit it eventually.
Getting the c-clip back on, on the near side of the bike was a complete b@5tard !!!
