Tubing size for headlight guards??

[Dirtcrasher]

I'm gonna buy some carbon steel tubing and make a headlight guard.

I just need a ballpark size, I'm not trying to replicate anything. I just want to protect my headlight without paying 80$ for Hondaline....

Is that outer run about 3/8" outside diameter?? Looks to be fairly thin walled tubing also? Maybe I'll run solid 1/8" rods across the front.....

I have to order some rod for the brake guide I destroyed so I figure I'll get this stuff while I'm at it.

Thanks for any help :D

You can pick up cheap non Hondaline headlight guards on ebay.$30 is the going rate.

Thanks EDOG but then I gotta pay shipping too.

I enjoy fabricating stuff. Could you please open up your container with 25 guards and just measure one for me??

THANKS :D
