KathyL from Australia has offered to buy headlight protectors for us and bring them with her when she comes to Texas later this year.
She made this offer a couple of years ago and, IIRC, Eldon (EX-WINGER) and I were the only ones who took her up on the offer. I'm taking her up on that offer again!
When Jim Rau (JungleJim) and I were on our way back from Alaska, we came down the Cassier Highway from Watson Lake to Stuart, BC. Our second day on the Cassier, we were between Dease Lake and Stuart and were in a fairly long construction section or two. The next morning as I was loading my bike in Stuart, I noticed the headlight protector: it had been shattered into 3 pieces, all still attached to the headlight. If that protector hadn't been there, I might well have been looking for a headlight assembly. I'm reasonably sure that there wouldn't have been any near Stuart, British Columbia.
Bike Bandit does sell them and says that they usually ship within 1-2 business days. They cost $184 at retail and Bike Bandit sells them for $139. The $50 or so that the headlight protector costs seems worth it to me. I'm asking Kathy to bring one for me when she comes to the US.
