Headlight grill guards

(1/2) > >>

Athame57:
I'm toying with the idea of fitting a headlamp guard grill to my CB400F2. But is it really classic looking, or off-road, Mad Max even? :-\ Has anyone else fitted this item to a 1970s Honda SOHC?
Your thoughts? ;)

SumpMagnet:
says 'off road' to me.

But, as with anything like this, it's personal. Not something I would fit, but if you like it...go for it. Would be a boring world indeed if we all did things exactly alike.

taysidedragon:
As Sumpmagnet said, normally an off road thing, but getting fitted to a lot of street scrambler, flat tracker or brat style road bikes. If you like the look go for it. It might save your headlight from a flying stone from a pothole! 😖

K2-K6:
Same here, scrambler/enduro overtones.

As others though, suit yourself as to what you want it to look like.

Maybe of interest  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233096661808 light unit replica of Cibiè type concave period light used in these. Unsure of exact dimensions, but looks to be of that type (geeky fascination of Rally lights here   :D ) but should fit shell. Originally the kit had an adapter ring to fit into essentially a non std sized 400/4 shell.

The 7 inch description in tbat link reference to the OD of the unit shell and not the internal reflector unit dimensions.

I agree with wha'ts been said, its all personal choice and its your bike so you do what you like with it. At least it isn't a lot of money and if you dont like it you havent lost much. Please don't be tempted to fit a headlight peak though, they really do look naff on a standard 400/4 but great on one that's been made to look like a cafe race bike with an alloy tank, rear sets, polished engine covers etc  8)
