Black Lenses?
Having seen a few bikes at the Nec with black lenses on the front of the bike , is there anyone who supplies them to fit the sv ?
thought it might look smart on a yellow 02. |

It's illegal to colour your front lens anything other than clear and your rear anything other than red, as far as I know.

I'm not convinced that it's illegal to have it on the head lights as i'm sure it would let the same amount of light through ( presumably) .
i've emailed them to ask anyway .. i'll let you know. unless anyone on here knows for definate that they are legal / illegal . i dont want the screen black , just the head light lense. |

Thought it was only illeagal if you had the headlights on? also if I remember right you can have a coloured screen as you do not look through it and headlights can be amber as this falls under the same colours as indicators.
could be wrong bout the screen tho. ste
