Catch me if you can
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
