Do you have the Lone Rider Headlight Guard on your GS/GSA

[itznuthin]

I have a 2023 R1250 GSA. I just recieved the replacement LED headlight upgrade (I was one of the bikes that initially came with halogen lights due to the supply chain issues). I am considering getting the Lone Rider headlight guard to protect this very expensive headlight. However, I have a question for anyone who has installed this item. I rarely ride at night, so I rely on the headlight to provide significant conspicuity while on the road during the day. In your opinion, does the grill materially reduce the amount of light emitted? How much will it reduce the effect of the headlight in making me visible during the day. For those of you who have one, I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks, Don

I bought a knock off on Amazon for like $80! You'd never tell the difference if i didn't tell you.

Jason, it does look the same as the Lone Rider version. Do you think daylight conpiscuity it diminished when you have the grill up?

I just installed it so haven't been out riding with friends to ask them if how I look riding behind them.

I had the Loan Rider knock off from Amazon, the looks of it was great, however, I thought the light was getting deflected by the headlight protector. I went with the headlight cover from A Bike Thing in UK, a bit expensive but the looks are awesome and fits perfectly. Heres the before and after pictures.
