Stickercity's Smoked Headlight Filmriders block 02-09-2005, 12:58 AM Here is a comparison picture of Stickercity's 20% smoke tint on my R1. riders block 02-09-2005, 01:00 AM here it is with the lights on... riders block 02-09-2005, 01:06 AM :cool: riders block 02-09-2005, 01:18 AM Only problems are...
1) If you look closely at my picture (below), the cut does not fit exactly to the size of the head light.
(like this one does...) http://www.stickercity.com/images/gallery/r1.jpg
2) Air bubbles are a pain to get out.:boom riders block 02-09-2005, 01:26 AM Overall... I am happy with the product! :thumbup It's way better than the mesh...
...and my R1 is looking stealthier, than all other "ravens" :finger riders block 02-09-2005, 01:36 AM One more with the lights on!:D riders block 02-13-2005, 08:51 PM I'll post pictures of the light emitted on the ground when I get a chance! Steve_F 02-21-2005, 01:08 AM I nearly ordered this last week, but they are looking for $30 to ship it to Australia !!!!! no f**kin way am i paying that for postage, i emailed them and alas got no response so i guess ill be trying to get it elsewhere.
seeing it though im keen to get it now. Skard 03-15-2005, 03:06 AM Looks nice... I have the blue tint on my blue 04 and I always have people asking me about it. I didn't notice a difference in the illumination other than they shine a little whiter now. My film wasn't an exact fit but it is hardly noticable. Just a small gap around the outside. sandtrapppp 03-23-2005, 11:42 AM Originally posted by Skard

Do you have any pictures of your bike with the blue tint film on?

Hi there,
I´m also interested in this light 20% smoke headlight film, but I´d like to see some pictures before buy it on the 04 red R1, if possible please somebody post it.
Thanks,
Chapecó TA^Guy 03-25-2005, 03:52 PM I think it looks AWESOME and was thinking of doing it to mine but I do about 70% of my riding at night so I really do not want to compromise illumination at all. Blown38 03-26-2005, 09:29 PM Hi there,

Answered my own question already hurricane28 04-15-2005, 02:49 PM Hey Riders Block......is that Blue R1 with the light smoke screen or the dark??
I have the blue 02 R1 and thats the look i want....looks sweet buddy..nice work hurricane28 04-15-2005, 02:50 PM Riders Block.......also, what tint percentage is on the headlights?? riders block 04-15-2005, 09:22 PM The Blue one is StickerCity's bike. (The black one is mine.) I believe the blue one has the 'dark' tint on. When they took that picture they had not released the lighter 20% 'light' flim yet. riders block 04-02-2007, 05:43 PM I'll post pictures of the light emitted on the ground when I get a chance!

Looks neat though. Good luck with it.... Klo1320 04-07-2007, 06:26 PM looks good, but the light output looks a little on the low side. bocna 04-07-2007, 06:33 PM looks the ish, but i dont think it outways the cons darkphiber 04-07-2007, 11:54 PM I never understood why anyone would want to reduce their headlight output. Sure it looks cool but why look cool over a lot of negative factors. babyit11 04-08-2007, 10:52 AM I never understood why anyone would want to reduce their headlight output.

what neagative factors are you refering to. never had any problem with mine, still emits plently of light and can be seen just as good, but really enhances look of my bike, very happy with it. darkphiber 04-09-2007, 10:13 AM what neagative factors are you refering to. never had any problem with mine, still emits plently of light and can be seen just as good, but really enhances look of my bike, very happy with it.
Ok how about the BIG two.. reduction of light at night to SEE and the reduction of light in the day for people to SEE you.
I will take a little more safe then "enhancing" the look of my bike.
Glad you're happy with it... GTSCustoms 04-09-2007, 10:43 AM Ok how about the BIG two.. reduction of light at night to SEE and the reduction of light in the day for people to SEE you.

cool, thanks for the concern, in my personal experience with it, no drastic reduction of light, at night, as i can see very well with the low and or/high beams, and in the day time, i dont rely on my headlight for other people to see me, i rely on being aware of my surroundings and driving offensively and not defensively to avoid as much trouble as possible...
very happy with it and have had it on my bike since 50 miles (now 10000 miles) MuffDVR 04-09-2007, 11:30 AM What about just getting the lenses tinted? Prob look alot cleaner then using stickers.

this is more like a tint than sticker, but when compared side by side, i thought the sticker city one was more like a clear bra, seemed like it would hold up better to bugs, rocks, etc., that and for me, since i went down there, they gave the warantee with it MuffDVR 04-09-2007, 12:11 PM What I meant about getting tinted is splitting the lenses, then having the inside of the smoked chemically. laszlo horvath 03-13-2009, 03:07 PM I got these light covers for my bike and at night I can just take 'em off. Velcro baby! :) steveWFL 03-13-2009, 03:10 PM in another thread a guy is complaining about not being able to "see around corners"
and in this thread we're decreasing total amount of light http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j180/stevewfl/bigthumb.gif tmcj 03-16-2009, 08:57 AM yeah, it looks cool. but i'd rather have every advantage possible to see & be seen. :thumbup cyclepsycho7 03-16-2009, 09:04 AM Overall...

...and my R1 is looking stealthier, than all other "ravens" :finger
How can you be giving a set of these :finger when you still have the back blinkers on.:lol:lol. Tint looks good, I thought they came pre-cut. How much of a decrease in night time vision have you lost with the tint. I like the way it looks but haven't done it for that reason. I can't see as well at night to begin with:crash
Doh, Just realized that this is an old thread, lot of this going around lately. cyclepsycho7 03-16-2009, 09:09 AM I got these light covers for my bike and at night I can just take 'em off. Velcro baby! :)
Great idea, where did you get'em laszlo horvath 03-16-2009, 09:28 AM Great idea, where did you get'em
