Easily removed but I like them. Just my personal taste.

got a pair of them "shades" for my cbr600rr looks pretty cool with them on but never used them see them more of a danger to not being seen. reminds me of them rapers and hip hop guys who wear them in a club, they want to looks cool but cant see anything. I thought they were designed for track days?

The light still shines through them pretty well ill try some night shots to compare them better see how much they actually dim the lights. Though that will have to wait for another day. For me there is enough light coming through if you look at the correct height.

Hear are some interesting photos compairing with and without headlight covers and yes I did expect some light loss.

But not quite that much may re think using them on the road at all just use them when parked.

I'd definitely get rid of them, that's a lot of light lost.

PS. You should chain the bike to one of the main fence posts rather than one of the 'panels'.

Calling them "rapers" is probably libellous - not all rappers are rapists!
