My new Hoindaline headlight guard came today. I seem to want all of the 250R Hondaline accessorys and buy them when I find them. I put the guard on tonight and I could not get it off fast enough. It makes my bike look horrible. I took it off and put it in my "Honda box" with all of the other Hondaline parts that are to ugly to put on. A while ago I bought the optional lens grill and together they are really bad. I did not take a picture of the grill because it is still in the original bag. I have seen some pictures of bikes and it looks good, but not on my bike. It just looks to bulky. It makes it look like my Big Red. I like it with a cleaner look. Anyway see for yourself.

I don't think that looks bad. I think it looks alot better but thats me and it's not my choice. What are you going to do with it now????? I agree about the lens grill and the guard not looking good together but with just the guard it looks awesome.

I had a red one on mine and I think it was fine. But I didnt care for the looks as much as I wanted it to protect my headlight....which it has done! lol

I liked the way this guard looked, but I got that glare KASEY was talking about...

I have a red one on mine, I think the red ones blend in more, and don't stick out as much as the black ones. No wheres near as ugly as the '81-'82 250R facemask headlight guards, now that's ugly.

Mine was originally red with three bars brazed on for a "grill". They have fallen off over the years just leaving the brazing bead behind. I recently sanded it smooth and had it PC'ed trans red. I don't think it's ever saved my headlight but it makes a very functional grab bar for the front.

I don't think it loks bad, but then again, I'm bias :lol:
You guys are right, those chrome ones do make the light shine back into your face, but they're way to cool looking to take off.
I like the Hondaline "one peice" 350x guard the best.
