    Vickery Motorsports has got a new ZX6 with some headlight covers on it. They look like some kind of stick-on mesh. Looks sweeeeet, but I can only imagine trying clean bug juice/guts off the headlights. Not sure if they'll affect how they light up the road or not.

    These covers are always on e-bay too. Some cool designs out their, but I've always been to safety oriented to try them because they have to block out some light (hence the word "cover").

    yea, i still think i'm gonna buy it though. i think they look cool and will set my bike apart that much more since noone has it. yea i've seen some of the cool designs out there like the eyes and the super man logo but i'm gonna go solid red.

    Hey if you lose some light, just leave the brights on. Post a pic when you get them on.

    Just be careful on leaving your brights on if you have after market bulbs (couldn't think of a better word: lol). I had a Katana for a while that I left the brights on all the time. One very hot day it melted the housing that the bulbs sits in .

    headlight covers

    I was looking for the same thing, and I ended up finding Lamin-x at http://www.planetsuperbike.com/ It does filter a little bit of light, bit it looks really good after application, and running a blow dryer or some kind of heat to it.
