  1. I am sure someone was talking about the paint around the head lamps before but i can not find it .
    My head lamps have lossed a lot of the black surround giving the bike a slight squint eyed look .
    anyone got a idea on how to renew the black..... is it just matt black paint or what .........
     
  2. Black electrical insulation tape.

  7. and even if it does it’s no biggie to replace. Just make sure the glass is really clean first, either alcohol wipes or meths on some tissue. The tape will stick better.
