trackday headlight tape
i got these as a gift for my sv650s
LIGHT LIDZ <---clicky linky
dunno if i should use them since i take her to the track - you think they qualify as 'taping' up the headlights?

Wax/polish the lenses and use blue painters tape. If its damp at all, use duct tape. The painters tape will come off.

Just remember to disconnect the lights, the heat generated by yous light will ensure any kind of adhesive will permanently become one with your lenses.

It's my understanding that one's supposed to tape up the lights to prevent the plastic from shattering and becoming debris on the track. So if one pulls the fuse for the lights and applies that custom head light covering to the lense why would it fail tech inspection?

TPM allows that 'custom' lens cover. No matter what route you choose, no light should come through. We see tail lights with one layer of tape and see when the brake light comes on.

I've always pulled the fuses (both high and low) for the headlights when taping up the front and pulled the connection for the tail lights. I also use a vinyl tape that would melt under the heat if I didn't.

Speaking of the painters tape, don't leave it on your gas tank with your name/shift pattern for any real length of time, difficult to remove later. Ask me how I know.

Hint: if you have a dedicated trackbike go to a sign shop and have lettering made up in 3/8" letters.
If you have a street bike you use, get one of those refrigerator magnets about 2"x4" and cover it with white vinyl tape and write your info on it with a perm. marker. That way, you can take it off because there is no adhesive. (does not work on plastic tanks though
