Headlight Protector - Why
Motorcycle lights are prone to stone damage. Covering it with a clear 3mm Plexiglass cover keeps the lens protected from flying rocks. More important is that you want to be seen. An orange light cover makes you stand out and motorists know that you are a bike and not a car. When lane splitting, orange light covers save lives. Combined with a set of LED spotlights you create an instantly recognizable triangle. Red is the most visible colour on the light spectrum, but since red is reserved for the rear, orange or yellow is the accepted colour for front motorcycle lights.
