Default Yellow color "plastic" headlight covers

I'm looking to get headlight covers that are colored yellow - think Le Mans. Is that something that's available?

Thx

Found 'em at lamin-x.com. 30 USD inc shipping from the US to Europe is pretty decent. Hope the quality's ok too.

They won't do much if a decent stone hits.
You're much better of with these:

Well, not really aiming for the protection, I just want the endurance looks

I put lamin-x yellow film on my high-beam headlight almost a year ago and have been very happy with the look/performance/etc. When I bought my material they did not have a kit for the S1000RR so I bought enough material to cover the headlight (and a screw up or two) and cut it to fit.

Does the yellow on the high beam serve a purpose for aiding in night driving? Or is it for protection and looks?

For me there is no benefit to the yellow light visibility wise. I would say it does increase visibility for other people to see the bike. It doesn't decrease light output while at night to me. Protection is a benefit but that wasn't the reason I did the cover. I wanted one yellow light simply for looks.


The mirror is the CRG Hindsight LS.
CRG - Constructors Racing Group

I use it in conjunction with BMW S1000RR specific bar-end mirror sliders.
