Toymaker Serious Thumper Offline Dragon Rider Posts: 1534 Granite Falls, NC Gender:	Adding a little bling 06/11/08 at 08:31:11 I want to add a headlight visor. However, I am not sure what size is the stock headlight. I have tried to measure, but my figures don't come close to the visor sizes available. Anyone know what size our stock headlight is? T

It's the first thing listed. Only $6.95 for a 5.75 inch visor. It fit mine and I have an 87.

I fondly remember the big bikes" of the 70's...I think other than HD, Honda's big boy was the 750...having a thumper is all that... PS...picked up some sea foam today...we'll see if it makes a difference. T

Does a headlight visor do anything (such as focus the beam or something) or is it, as your topic suggests, purely bling?

Works just like a baseball cap - stops your headlight bulb from being dazzled on a bright day.

Good price on a cruise control too. I may just have to order both. "But Honey, with the shipping I'm really saving money." Love your avatar by the way. Made me laugh. Ride safe, Jay

Re: Adding a little bling Reply #9 - 06/15/08 at 00:05:47 A 7" visor would stop "Dead Bug Bits & Vapors" from bouncing up off the headlight & flying back onto the rider. Well, MAYbe enough to justify $7.00. I think they look cool, too.

Doh!..........I guess I really do need my summer break. I just realized that the measurement on the visor isn't the diameter of the light but the length of the visor. That's what happens to teachers after the year-end "no-child left behind" tests....

silly me

Yes...I think the visor will help to keep the sun out of my head. Don't wnat the two different kinds of light to mix. Not really sure what might happen.

Or even shorten the fenortonan rod... Yep contaminated light is bad......very bad...that's why we ALL need headlight visors!
