Was wondering if anyone knew of where to get some headlight protectors states side? Or are you guys making them at home?

If you are talking wire mesh type, the closest you can get off the shelf is one for an Africa Twin  :icon_scratch: which will be a problem in the US and you'd still need to modify it.

If you can be satirised with the acrylic Velcro/stick on type, then the round Street triple ones fit perfectly, they are cheap and you should be able to get those in the US.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

I have homemade protectors.  I took a flexible aluminum screen mesh that would hold its shape, cut it into two oversized circles and used velcro to hold it.  This is a lens protector.
