H/Light Protector

[cragrat]

Hi Gang, pls help once more, just been given a touratech headlight cover (steel grill type) to fit on my 1150gs, but i have since been told they are not legal in this country. can anybody shed some light on this (i have tried other threads but came up with nothing so i am sorry if the question has been asked before). thanks again & all the best...cragrat.

Why!!!!!!

Had mine on for four years now, saved the head light twice.

I had my bike on show last week end at a bike safe day in Plymouth, it had the local Bike police lads looking all over it and no one had a problem with the head light cover or any other bits...

Stuff that! Fit it anyway! It's the cow catchers on urban offroader w*nkmobiles that manufacturers are no longer allowed to fit as factory anymore.



Mwaaahahahahahahhahahahahahahah. Sorry, I just can't help myself, I loath urban offroaders with an irrational passion Burn them all! And then sink them.........

The only place I'm aware that they're not approved for is Germany. I've had one fitted for a while, but have noticed a fair bit of reflected light onto the screen at night. I used to take the old plactic one I had (still have somewhere) off when dark, but haven't bothered with this one.

a big thanks

hi all, i think you all have a valid point so i shall fit it & take a screwdriver with me just incase plod says "REMOVE IT". i think they look great & will defo help in case of flying stones etc. but it was just the possibility of a fine for having it on that was worrying me. thanks again gang, ride safe. all the very best...cragrat

Sethmopp is right.

The Touratech covers come with a warning that they are not legal because Touratech is a German company. The headlight covers are not type approved in Germany.

I have the TT clear plastic cover on my 1150GSA - but find that there is so much reflection at night (particularly from main beam) that I now take it off if I am likely to be riding at night.
