hi-tech polycarbonate headlight-guard
Posted: Tue May 04, 2004 11:02 amI dunno if anyone may find this useful or not, but the first "mod" that I did to my Baghira was to address my (perhaps unreasonable) fear of stone-damage to my glass headlight-lens.

I made a template, and scanned it and converted it into .pdf format so that anyone anywhere can accurately re-produce the same template from any computer/printer. The template is available at

if you right-click on the above link and select "save as" then you can put it on your hard-drive so you can easily make another one if you lose/misplace/otherwise damage the plastic.
OK, so it's not *really* "hi-tech" but I used a piece of a 2-liter soda-bottle to make a cover for my headlight on my 2002 Baghira. I think it looks *much* better than one of those steel-mesh-screen thingies... and I rode around all day yesterday with my high-beam on and did NOT notice any meltage or other heat-induced deformation of the plastic.
