Author Message   Rwcfrank Posted on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - 12:22 am:        I just upgraded to a nice HID low beam. It has exacerbated the shadow effect from the BBQ grill headlamp guard. Who is still running the guard and has it saved anyones headlight yet? I am ready to toss mine in the "spare Buell parts soon to be collector items box". Opinions, thoughts, ideas?   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - 01:01 am:        I pulled my grille as soon as I got my Uly home. Makes it easier to clean the muck and bugs off the lights, and they really won't protect the lights from anything smaller than a bird anyway...   12bolt Posted on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - 02:11 am:        But you have to admit it looks good   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - 10:00 am:        If that was what I worried about on my bikes...I'd own a Harley. Form or function....I choose function   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - 10:13 am:        Why do you still have the stock fender and hand guards then?   Natexlh1000 Posted on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - 10:23 am:        I popped mine off too. Hard to scrape the bugs off with that fence in the way. I was thinking of installing it on my friend's XB12S when he's not looking   Xbimmer Posted on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - 12:57 pm:        I think the grille is the dumbest thing on the bike, the useless beak is next. Grille is in my spare parts bin.   Natexlh1000 Posted on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - 06:33 pm:        The beak is pretty sad too Whatever I drive through is carefully applied to my face.   Xbimmer Posted on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - 11:01 pm:        Whatever I drive through is carefully applied to my face. Ha! Yeah, when it's dark out and I'm riding through rain puddles or such. I can watch as the splash climbs up and out the front of the beak, and the drops shoot up and hang just about eye level before I hit them. Not a problem, sort of amusing to me. That said, still haven't removed it. One of these days when I get $$ ahead I'll look into the full fender American Sport Bike sells.   Ratbuell Posted on Thursday, April 29, 2010 - 07:25 am:        Handguards actually *do* something in the cold and the rain....and while I don't necessarily love the beak, I do love the lower rear section of the front fender. The XT fender is a joke, too. My rule of thumb - if it's something I don't think I need and it pops off quickly (i.e. not too many tools required) - off it goes. If it annoys repeatedly (like the tripletail lock), I find a way to make it go away. C'mon Froggy...you know you want a beak on your CR   Froggy Posted on Thursday, April 29, 2010 - 09:22 am:        It dosen't clear the pods, I've tried   Mnrider Posted on Thursday, April 29, 2010 - 10:14 am:        Leavin' the grill on! I like it.
