Lens shields, are they legal?

[hogfire]

I just brought some Lens Sheild (plastic covers that velcro onto the original the headlights) and they are tinted.

this is with the tinted lens sheild


this is original


I was wondering are they legal?

[vifferman]

I don't get it - why would they not be legal? (Can't tell from your photos). Ventura have been selling polycarbonate headlight protectors for cars and bikes for years without a problem. Are they tinted or summat?

Apparently they are which makes me ask..........never mind will just walk away shaking my head.

LOL yes.

If they just velcro on, who cares if they are legal. Just rip them off for the WOF.

I never did really understand why people want to darken the piece of the bike that's intended to light up the road.

You mean cool like when you buy a superbike, lower it to a couple of inches of the ground, extend the swingarm and then chrome everything?

Comparing your before and after photos they certainly have a dramatic effect.

just use them for day riding take them of and put them under your seat at night time

Yeah, it's an American thing. Form over function.

I've seen Americans on a GSXR forum pull their headlights apart and spray the reflective material with black paint because it supposedly "looks cool"

But then what do you expect from a country that makes Harley Davidsons.

[quickbuck]

Still have to wonder though.....

I mean, don't headlights break at night or something??

I have rode with them on at night, I dont find them that bad. Still light the road pretty well
