I've been slowly building the accessories on my Terra over the past year and was ready to buy the Touratech 'quick release' headlight guard only to find they are no longer manafactured. I've tried Touatech Thailand, UK, Netherlands etc but no luck. Love the Terra so not giving up yet - anyone out there selling please let me know. Cheers...
Philip from motoadventurestore.be is very helpful, he also owns a Terra himself. I doubt he has the TT headlight guard in stock though, but it is worth a try. He might also have alternative suggestions.
Thanks for the suggestions. I put an order through the Belgium branch a few weeks back but unfortunately no luck. I'll try contacting Philip and see what he suggests... Thanks again...
Contacted Philip (who also had one on order for his Terra), but unfortunately Motoadventures no longer supply the headlight guard. I contacted Touratech a while back to see whether they could supply one as a 'special order' but again the answer was no. I was thinking of making one myself but would be difficult to achieve Touratech quality and avoid the 'home made' look. I think either finding a used one or looking into custom made are the only options...? Will keep you posted...
Any update where one can purchase a headlight protector. I'm in Auckland New Zealand and I need 2. what are my options other then getting them specially fabricated from a photo?
Hi There, I've just heard back from Touratech who say they would need an order of 100 to fabricate more, As we only have a total of 5 (including you) it seems emxremely doubtful that we'll reach that number. It's disappointing but I'll let you know if I hear of any other options... Cheers, Mark
As an another option for headlight protection I use a stick on film. It's designed for headlights It's about 3mm thick. I've had it on for over 2 years. Greg
Keep your eyes peeled on ADVrider classifieds, I picked up a used one on there about a month ago. And there was one on eBay the same week I bought mine too.
Best advice! I did exactly the same - found a second hand (not that you could tell) one on ADVRider for $30. They do come up - AND it's fun browsing;-)
On my GS I bought a super resilient and strong self adhesive film, made by those clever people at 3M (is there anything these Minnesotans can't make...?) it was cut to size for the 1150 and about 3mm thick. I seriously think it offers equal or even better rock and chip protection than the rip-off Touratech thingy. No doubt you can't get it ready cut for the Husky, but if you get a piece big enough and cut it with a pair of scissors, I reckon you're home and hosed! Ozav8r
Anyone with metalwork experience knows exactly why they DON'T "weld this up in a jiffy". There's THE reason TT is forsaking the profits of that product. And they have already done all the hard yards of design, tooling, sourcing materials, having made the product before.
