the way you made such a long video on a such simple product is incredible. you should be nominated for an oscar. you really are something else... some would say astonishing
The headlight protector we have always wanted and needed.. your going to sell thousands of these.. Absolutely top draw!! Hat off to you pal, you’ve nailed it. 👍
Another awesome product Steve. Congrats to A Bike Thing for sourcing/finding and bringing to market and also huge congrats to the designer for such a great product.
Just ordered one, along with a spare clear lens, for my just purchased 2023 1250GS. A very elegant solution, and so easy to install. Brilliant. Thanks for such a great product.
Looks like a great product. One thing I am sure people would have to avoid and that is to use any pressure washer, or even a fairly powerful hose pipe on the headlight as water is very likely to get through the foam gasket. I know that would bug me if I kept forgetting and had to get the tools out to clean out the inside of the lens.
Absolutely love your content. You can really see your passion for what you do and it shows in your products. Keep up the great work. Will be ordering some of your gear for Christmas.
Just Back Ordered my Ammo Guard. Looking forward to getting it. In the mean time just ordered the LED Back Light Emblem Disks . The way you show your products and how to install is why I chose to purchase your products for my 2023 BMW R 1250 GSA. David
Hi Steve…all I have to say is that you nailed it with that protector It’s really a pain in the #$” to clean the headlight with the Lone Rider or the Touratech or other protector and so I think this products is just superb Congrats! Greetings from Chile
Love your channel and your products. I just purchased a 2023 BMW R 1250 GSA Triple Black. Wish you were in the US so I could have you install some products. I live in Las Vegas, NV. Keep developing products and videos. Thank you. David
As soon as the mirrored lense is available I am buying it. My bike is a triple black 21 very similar to yours because I’m using mostly your parts. So you’ve got me hooked!
What a BRILLIANT piece of kit 🙂 What I also like, is that every bit of kit, should to have TWO uses (as Sam Manicom keeps saying!). And this, with the Mirrored cover, means I have a 'Shaving Mirror' when I'm out camping :-)
I've always preferred the look of the GS without a light protector on, however I wouldn't dare ride without one. This could be the perfect solution. Hope the waterproofing is effective and RRP is reasonable.
Hello there, I was wondering what if you are driving in night with low beam. You have a turn in front of you. As far as I know this GS have a rotatable low beam module (kind of cornering function). Do you will be able to see yellowish pattern?
Welll I’ve been riding this gs with the adaptive light for nearly 2 years with a lone rider guard . The oem light is not all that good and that’s mainly due to the guard sitting in front of the headlight. I don’t personally notice an amber glow in front of the bike but then again I have Denali lights lighting up my way.
This is the protector I've always been waiting for. I find it as a great idea. Very interesting series a kit with another replacement protector. As soon as it's available I'll buy it. A greeting from Spain.
Looks great! One thing I thought about was that sealing of the front of the headlight might lead to the headlight not being able to cool down enough since there is no way for the warm/hot air to get out. It might reduce lifespan of the headlight.
Looks great. However, I think it needs additional screws top and bottom of the narrow end. When you tapped the protector at 18:24 you can hear it rattling against the headlight.
Well spotted. This is because the side screws are too long when the coloured filter is not fitted. Remember this is still a prototype. The release version will have shorter screws or bushes to deal with application without the coloured filter.
hhhmm!! very pretty good luck, can you please explain the laws i.e only white light to the front amber to the side and red to the rear or have i missed something amber being for signals just asking,?
Aaaaarghh....Yes I would definately have bought this except today my Lone Rider headlight guard arrived in the post and I only just finished fitting it and your video popped up! oh well
Incredible Product YES!!! Is the X design street legal? That's my question for US consumption I love the X yellow. That is really a beautiful piece of equipment ...Gorgeous! The Mirrored Finish is STUNNING with the X. OH WOW!!
Headlight guards are a must for these bikes especially if off-roading or even light gravel roads, 1 stone in the wrong place and that's 2 grand down the pan, those led headlights at the moment cant be replaced easily because of manufacturing problems, was at a bmw shop the other day and noticed all new gs1250 bikes was fitted with the old bulb type.
I know, we’re getting them in here having Denali lights fitted. It’s important to know the ammo guard is not compatible with the new temporary halogen bulb configuration.
Ciao Steve, ho inserito nel carrello la luce freno B6 ma vorrei sapere se per la sua installazione avete tenuto conto che la R1250 GSA ha sotto la targa la barra per le valigie , siccome le immagini della luce B6 non fanno vedere la sua installazione sulla moto non vorrei che la luce freno venisse coperta dalla barra per le valigie. grazie e complimenti per i tuoi video
I'm wondering, if the ammo guard fits so close to the original lens, won't a rock hitting it (at highway speeds) flex the ammo guard into the original lens and brake both of them?
I'm looking for this plus would like to know what additional light system ypu are running on the bike (2 x additional spots plus the amber spot)...and also the additional back brake light system...love the setup you have there...
Hi, check this video out My BMW R1250GSA Quad Black Updated Configuration ruclips.net/video/PDAVbC3uelw/видео.html. But then also check the initial video I did when I first got the bike MY BRAND-NEW R1250GSA. THE MODS SO FAR. ruclips.net/video/c8RQo6KBhzs/видео.html
How about getting with HEX and get the gs911 so we can calibrate our speedos so they are not off by 4mph What good is a fancy trip 1 trip 2 with all kinds of info thats incorrect I did a 4 day organized ride with gps down load book of route instructions and the mileage was off all weekend long
Maybe I missed it, but how far is the front lens to the actual lens once installed? I would like a purchase option that includes a spare clear lens, or a combo kit with a regular lens and mirrored lens.. Shipping to the USA and riding off road frequently, I would like to have a spare included. Well done! great looking product!
the way you made such a long video on a such simple product is incredible. you should be nominated for an oscar. you really are something else... some would say astonishing
The headlight protector we have always wanted and needed.. your going to sell thousands of these.. Absolutely top draw!! Hat off to you pal, you’ve nailed it. 👍
WOW, that mirror lens is on another level, and so different, you are the first I believe to bring this to the market place. Congrats 🎉👏🏽
Mine arrived today and it's installed. Clearly, this is a great product...perfect fit and sturdy!
I love the mirror but really need to be sure it doesn't reduce the light output at all, I live in the sticks so need all the light I can get,
Another awesome product Steve. Congrats to A Bike Thing for sourcing/finding and bringing to market and also huge congrats to the designer for such a great product.
Just ordered a lone rider, soon as you have these available I’ll definitely be buying one! Love your channel from aus.
Just ordered one, along with a spare clear lens, for my just purchased 2023 1250GS. A very elegant solution, and so easy to install. Brilliant. Thanks for such a great product.
Great to hear!
That cover is the absolute "Dog's Gonads" What a brilliant idea! The front looks so stealthy. Well done, Steve, I think you are onto a winner!
Great now I'll have to get a GS just to have this extremely cool protector, nice job

This looks so much better than every other option!
Awesome Protector. I just received mine today. Installation was very easy. I highly recommend this product.

Love seeing great quality and design combined! Clearly well thought out.
when will it be available on your website still on preoprder ?
Stan is a great guy, I had the same on my previous GS with the “G” DRL. Great product.
Looks superb, mirrored finish with amber looks the nuts👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Simply! The best headlight protection.
Take my money!! Im glad you came up with this. Just was about to buy a lonerider one. But this is so mutch cleaner!!
Dame!!!! LOVE IT!!!!. Take my money !!! Love the configuration for the mirror and the amber lens. 😍
As soon as the mirrored lense is available I am buying it. My bike is a triple black 21 very similar to yours because I’m using mostly your parts. So you’ve got me hooked!
Thanks Simon
Now I want The GS just for this!!
I'm in - looking forward to seeing these come available!
Fantastic, stunning and looks so neat. Mirrored looks very smart. Excellent work.
ABSOLUTELY. Maybe BMW should order them from you😂. I like the mirrored with Amber.
What a BRILLIANT piece of kit 🙂
What I also like, is that every bit of kit, should to have TWO uses (as Sam Manicom keeps saying!).
And this, with the Mirrored cover, means I have a 'Shaving Mirror' when I'm out camping :-)
Thank you for suggesting this idea for my next video on this. Love it.
That mirrored one is absolute 🔥🔥🔥
I've always preferred the look of the GS without a light protector on, however I wouldn't dare ride without one.
This could be the perfect solution.
Hope the waterproofing is effective and RRP is reasonable.
when is the guard available on your website ?
want one as soon as please, absolutely brilliant
Will the mirrored lens reduce light output at night? I just ordered the clear lens but just curious
I’m curious as well.
Hello there, I was wondering what if you are driving in night with low beam. You have a turn in front of you. As far as I know this GS have a rotatable low beam module (kind of cornering function). Do you will be able to see yellowish pattern?

The oem light is not all that good and that’s mainly due to the guard sitting in front of the headlight. I don’t personally notice an amber glow in front of the bike but then again I have Denali lights lighting up my way.
Isn't there going to be condensation between the protector lens and the headlight ?
This is the protector I've always been waiting for. I find it as a great idea. Very interesting series a kit with another replacement protector. As soon as it's available I'll buy it. A greeting from Spain.
Just ordered mine! In mirror finish.👍🏻
Awesome product Steve, well done! 👍👍
Mirrored ammo guard looks amazing, will definitely look to buy one asap
Amazing look Steve. If I had a GSA I definitely would go for this product.
I like the mirrored look but I would like to see a nighttime throw test
And I just received my Touratech light protector today ... but yours looks excellent. Something I'll definitely keep in mind.
Great look but glad you mentioned it will dim the light and not get it if we don’t have super bright auxiliary spotlights…
Amazing product! Would definitely buy!
Ha. Proof is in the pudding. Saw the vid, went to order, out of stock. Looks amazing. Will be ordering. Mirror lens is phenomenal. 👍🏻
Sold! I’ll watch when the pre-order starts. Great design!!
Game changer, the other guys at the starbucks are going to be so mad when they see my $150 plastic mirror finish headlight protector.
Great prototype, I’m waiting for a serial one.
Time to take off the BMW OEM shield cover. This new headlight protector is a game changer. Take my money!
Wicked product .... sign me up 👍
Just what I've been looking for..... Perfect!
That's nice !! Great video and explanation !
Just go on and take my money right now. I'm definitely picking up one of those!
Looks great! One thing I thought about was that sealing of the front of the headlight might lead to the headlight not being able to cool down enough since there is no way for the warm/hot air to get out. It might reduce lifespan of the headlight.
Excellent piece of aftermarket kit.
It is strange these are not standard for a expensive fragile headlamp.
good morning. The headlight protector with the transparent lens Difficulty the vision of the full led headlights
Your Bike is very very Nice and your New Ammo Guard Headlight is thé Vérité Best. I love it❤❤❤❤
Wow i gave this product 100%thumbs up
Looks Awesome, I want one just need my GS to be delivered first, but will be in touch as I am already building up a shopping list.$$$$
Looks great. However, I think it needs additional screws top and bottom of the narrow end. When you tapped the protector at 18:24 you can hear it rattling against the headlight.
Well spotted. This is because the side screws are too long when the coloured filter is not fitted. Remember this is still a prototype. The release version will have shorter screws or bushes to deal with application without the coloured filter.
Excellent. Can’t wait to place an order.
The mirrored lens immediately sold me. Just need to know whether I can fit the Touratech rock guard on top. So cool.
why are we covering the light with amber plastic? do we unscrew this at night when we need better visibility?
looks like a well thought out unit, im currently using the puig unit that im very happy with.
a nice addition to your bike, looks cool as
The mirrored lens Looks Great. Love the all-black GSA - I'll have to trade my blue GSA for a black one.
Very nice, definitely getting one with the yellow for the 40 Aniv.
hhhmm!! very pretty good luck, can you please explain the laws i.e only white light to the front amber to the side and red to the rear or have i missed something amber being for signals just asking,?
You’re asking me to explain the laws for UK? Or every country in the world?
@@ABIKETHING uk
Yes, I’d be interested in G style one of those
Do you have of the head light protectors that replace the oem light cover guard
At 19:58 does the mirrored lens sit on washers ?
Any word yet as to when the new Armo headlight guard will be available. Time marches on.
Aaaaarghh....Yes I would definately have bought this except today my Lone Rider headlight guard arrived in the post and I only just finished fitting it and your video popped up! oh well
LR guard is a stunning looking bit of kit
Seems amazing!
This could be the coolest thing on my bike! 😎👍🏽
Incredible Product YES!!! Is the X design street legal? That's my question for US consumption I love the X yellow. That is really a beautiful piece of equipment ...Gorgeous! The Mirrored Finish is STUNNING with the X. OH WOW!!
Wow..nailed it..looks tough! New sub
Excellent product. I am going buy it. Is this a camera installed? Underneath the headlight?
HI Steve love the mirrored look not sure why you would want the Amber filter its a bit bling for me.
You just sold me on replacing my Lone Rider guard.
Where can I buy that kit
🤔 there is a link in the description. However it’s not available to buy until 1st November

Great product how about doing the same guard for a triumph tiger 1200 range please
How dust and water will not pass between cover and original headlight glass? I cannot see a seal there.
Remember I said this is a prototype. The water proofing dev is happening right now.
Very very very good Idea and nice product ! Love it
Good product that is, a winner for sure
Love it
Off the hook 👍🏼
Love the mirrorized.
Ciao Steve, ho inserito nel carrello la luce freno B6 ma vorrei sapere se per la sua installazione avete tenuto conto che la R1250 GSA ha sotto la targa la barra per le valigie , siccome le immagini della luce B6 non fanno vedere la sua installazione sulla moto non vorrei che la luce freno venisse coperta dalla barra per le valigie. grazie e complimenti per i tuoi video
I'm wondering, if the ammo guard fits so close to the original lens, won't a rock hitting it (at highway speeds) flex the ammo guard into the original lens and brake both of them?
Great video showing all options, link is broken though
hi

I'm looking for this plus would like to know what additional light system ypu are running on the bike (2 x additional spots plus the amber spot)...and also the additional back brake light system...love the setup you have there...
Hi, check this video out My BMW R1250GSA Quad Black Updated Configuration
ruclips.net/video/PDAVbC3uelw/видео.html. But then also check the initial video I did when I first got the bike MY BRAND-NEW R1250GSA. THE MODS SO FAR.
ruclips.net/video/c8RQo6KBhzs/видео.html
How about getting with HEX and get the gs911 so we can calibrate our speedos so they are not off by 4mph
What good is a fancy trip 1 trip 2 with all kinds of info thats incorrect
I did a 4 day organized ride with gps down load book of route instructions and the mileage was off all weekend long
I can’t get my bezel off, it’s got a clip underneath or something, not going to take my bike to bits to fit…
Nice job
I have a 2019 r1250gs
i really like the new X adaptive headlight
can i retrofit on the 2019 ?
Love it, Just ordered one
I have to say i am impressed . nice product . would have liked to see the 1200 version too
It’s the same.
Will this work on a 2023 1250gs that has the halogen lights BMW used when led headlight supply was hard to get?
No.
Maybe I missed it, but how far is the front lens to the actual lens once installed? I would like a purchase option that includes a spare clear lens, or a combo kit with a regular lens and mirrored lens.. Shipping to the USA and riding off road frequently, I would like to have a spare included. Well done! great looking product!
I want a headlight guard and have not been happy with the options - will be ordering one on Nov 1st!
