Headlight covers

[jim wagner]

Dave, I made the covers out of Lexan, brand name, This is a tough
plastic that is easy to work with. The lines are pin stripping tape that
I put on the inside of the covers so that they won't peal off in the
wind. I used screws to attach them but snaps could also be used.

Snaps sounds like a better way. How do you keep water (and bugs) out? I
have some piping around the Lexan on mine but water still gets inside
with some dirt.

Dave, I have not sealed my covers yet. I haven't put enough miles on the
GMC to get the outside of the covers dirty. I have the new motor in and
running so we will be doing some GMCing soon. I think I will try using a
strip of foam weather stripping around the edge of the covers. Will let
you if this works.

Jim,
IIRC, J. C. Whitney has the trim edging for the plastic
panels. I believe it was listed under motorcycle parts.
Also, Don Roberts used to sell the headlite covers,
(with edging, of course)
