Looks very nice!!! The BMW protector seems more efficient because you can remove it to clean it, but the price is higher than the Aliexpress solution, but yes, cheaper than if you have to change the headlight :P
Love your videos, thank you so much!! I'm afraid I'll go with the Chinese. I'm cheap. If it gets bad, I'll simply buy another. OH! LOVE YOUR DOGS!! Thank you for introducing them! I'm a dog guy as well!
Thank you for your kind comments buddy appreciate that you tuned in 🙏 It’s feedback like this that makes it all worth it 😊 Glad you got something from it as well 👍🏻
Wonderful and clear video. I have a question though, do these headlight guards alter the light beam and are they allowed for ordinary street use, do they have a CE label? Ps, the original bmw version seems the best to me.
Hi thanks for the comment the Aliexpress one did seem to affect the headlamp efficiency the BMW one I have yet to try it however the beam pattern is very clear on the workshop door unlike the Aliexpress version that was badly distorted 🤷🏻♂️ Neither of them carry and standards marking 👍🏻
I had the bmw protector on my 1300g and it completely failed (shattered) when I hit a duck at about 60mph. Dreading the call to the dealer parts department!
I think the Chinese one looks better! And is mounted better! Is a?shame the quality of the screen itself is no good! I will go miself with the Chinese! I fitted radiator protection to mine, and now bmw ises plastic tabs instead of bolts for the lower mount. Small detail, maybe to save weight, but not as durable!
Hi and thank you for your comment, if you prefer the Chinese version you could look at the WRS version which is the same but has a much better quality lens, although it is around the same price as the BMW part 👍🏻

great video, I got the bmw protection and had been wondering how to remove it for cleaning, I guess it is just pull it carefully ? Thanks
Hi yes but always try to support the bottom bracket from underneath to stop it flexing when removing, thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Wonderful and clear video.
I have a question though, do these headlight guards alter the light beam and are they allowed for ordinary street use, do they have a CE label?

damn …I’ve already fitted an innovv K7 there
You could relocate the camera mine is mounted behind the screen on the Nav bracket it works perfect 👌🏻 you can see this in my previous videos 👍🏻
cheers , will look at how its mounted first as i never did it to see how easy it is to move . but that BMW protector looks pretty good .
Hola! La cupula negra que llevas puesta, es la original de BMW? Gracias
Yes sir that is correct Genuine BMW unfortunately they don’t make tinted winglets to suit so these are WRS 👍🏻
Thanks!

Did it save your headlight ?
@@NJWMOTO Nope.
@@Nw7574nz
Excellent 👌🏻 that at least proves my theory 😊
Even though it has destroyed the headlight protector it’s saved the expensive headlight 👍🏻
Nope mate, see above, reply. Headlight stuffed.

Sorry for the misunderstanding buddy 😮 your encounter with a Duck 🦆 is quite unusual though hope your back on the road soon 👍🏻
