Tell him you need a headlight lens for a 1977 R100/7. Same headlamp. Different beam pattern for UK vs rest of world The BMW parts fiche shows a UK version of the lens. In the US it comes with the gasket. About $30USD last I bought. Best of luck. Contact me if you have no luck, I can provide BMW number for the UK lens.

I've been worried about that lens sticking out there while all the local gravel trucks lose rocks on Loop 820. By the way, what do you recommend as protection for that piece of glass?

By the way, what do you recommend as protection for that piece of glass? 57482[/snapback] Txrider, contact these guys: http://www.xpel.com/ Good stuff, protects well against anything .22 caliber or smaller. Well worth it. Buy a big sheet, you'll find other uses for the stuff. We use it on hand-held scanners, etc. to protect the view windows. We have been pleased with the optical clarity over a several year test. Follow the instructions, clean thoroughly , and use alcohol as needed On the lens I mean.

Martin Barrett Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 By the way, what do you recommend as protection for that piece of glass? Ventura the makes of the bike pack system also do headlamp guards. Not that I use either. But perhaps one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steve_W Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Earlier this year, my '01 Triumph Trophy got a black eye from a rock. The Trophy has two headlights and they come as a unit. Cost was USD 278, about 155 pounds, 225 Euro. I've been considering the Ventura covers but haven't done it yet. I may look up Todd's Xpel stuff now that I know about it.
