 :thumbs :thumbs I put a phone order in one day. Parcel turned up next day. But I see they have moved from Qld to NSW so may be a bit slower. Excellent fit and product.  :grin  :thumbs :thumbs

I have one from UK which is the same as the AMHP ones but cheaper, incl postage. 
Having said that, there is a school of thought that the headlight glass is so strong, and angle so sharp, that no protector is needed.  I have also observed in the few kays I've done on our often gravel-strewn roads, that stones seem to miss the lights and hit the screen.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Do you recall where you brought it from?

It was a fine day.  It usually is in Brissie, but I know exactly because I mowed the lawn that day and I don't mow it when it's wet.   :p

I would think very carefully before making any wild statements here. Bill is r


Ummm.  We're both waiting with bated breath here.  Am I to be vindicated with an extract from the Meteorological Record of Brisbane?
