Any Novus guy could fit clear-film skins on your lights, if that's what you mean.

Congrats on the bike Anmol! Motomail will have them and they are open on Sundays.

I think he meant a nice plastic cover (clear) you put on top of your head light that keeps it clean and more importantly saves your headlight from stone cheap. They usually use Velcro to sit on top of your head light…

Isnt that what the clear film skins do? I found those velcroed covers useless as they tend to fall off after a while. Does the GSXR have a plastic lens or glass?

They do, and much better than the clipons. No shit gets in between etc. Dunno 'bout lens material - suspect is polycarbonate. This stuff doesn't break, but does get badly chipped fairly rapidly. The clearfilm stuff is excellent on either glass or polycarb BUT under NO circumstances should the ultra-thick LiteSkinz stuff be used on poly. It doesn't dissipate bulb heat quickly enough, and the poly is sensitive to this and will discolour & go like old perspex.
Edit: I do this as part of my job, so know a little about the subject.

Welll done. we're not biased against Suzuk's.
Ventura Headlight Protector = $39.83 inc.
Alarm/immobiliser - phone Mongoose alarms. They have a bike specific model at $399 fitted.

Have use these on all my bike never had one fall off . But I do replace the pads ever 4 months depending on how many times I have taken the cover off . Mine on the K3 has just saved my light again but is broken now so new one been put back on this week

Colemans had the custom ones from Ventura....it cost me abt 55$...im guessing thats the one everyone uses.....its got back to back adhesive with velcro that needs to get stuck on.......was also thinking of getting crash knobs sorted......any suggestions????

I guess our Ventura protectors were too cheap at $39.00

those stick on cut yourself headlight protectors dim your light. a couple of years ago i had a rock go thru the skin and the light on the truck so got a new headlight. come the next COF the guy showed me the light intensity on his headlight aimer and the difference was huge, so we pulled the skin off the other one and it was way better wouldnt have skinz again. of course the truck pretty much only operates in the dark so if your not riding at night it wont matter.
