Re: Flexible Headlight Stone Shield

Thanks for those insights, Tom. I have been using the Aeroflow headlight
shields on several bikes, but found a few things not to my liking such as
bugs getting between the shield and the lens. The thin film seemed to solve
that complaint, but it is no solution if it yellows from UV or heat
exposure.
