Has anyone here fitted a stoneguard to a Bullet? I'm installing a 7" headlight, and I want to avoid any nasty situations on gravel roads.

Cee Baileys makes a convex plexiglas guard for headlights that
secures with 3M clear plastic "Velcro" so it removable  for
cleaning.
I'm 90 percent sure I have one I can spare if you wish.
check the website.
if you want to give it a go, email me your addy. al@bmwoffresno.com

Update.
I do have one, but it's 7.25 in diameter, made for the early BMW light.
Will work just fine but slightly oversize.
At free, the price is right.

I have a spare from the pair of MG wire mesh stone guards I got for my C5 Military... I adapted it to work with the 5 1/4" lamp... should be perfect for a 7". 

Here they are:
ebay item: 260730205104

I'll send you my spare for $10.00 shipped -  PM me if you want it...

I sent an email earlier with my address info, but if you haven't packed or sent anything yet, I think I'd like to hold off and give this wire one a go - not to be fussy but I think it might fit the vintage vibe of the bike a bit better. Hard to argue with the cost of free, but I don't want to be greedy either  ;D

Fox -

If you're talking about the one I have, I'll bring it in to work tomorrow.  If you email/private message me your address I'll ship it out UPS tomorrow.  Pay me whenever... ;)

Hi Mike,

Yep, I'll PM you my address, and just let me know which address to send payment to.

Thanks!
