Hi, I need a couple of the black plastic headlight bezels (L&R )for my xb9r. They broke trying to remove them to paint the fairing. Genuine ones are expensive so looking to see if there are any second hand ones available or aftermarket. Dont mind carbon repros. Cheers, Stu

I cracked one of mine removing it. I used a little plastic weld to fill in the crack then sanded smooth. Primed and painted they look so much better than the fading black factory and cost me next to nothing

Cheers for that but unfortunately mine are fairly terminal so need replacements.

Im running mine without them right now since i broke them. I dont really see a need for it anymore besides the BA carbon ones. For anyone who says its for heat from the lights, they dont get that hot.

Mine broke also when I tried to remove them to paint them. I just left them off, I kinda like the look without them. Plus I am to cheap to buy new ones.

Mine flew off when the previous owner crashed. I need a left one. Kinda looks like my bike has a black eye

American Sport Bike sells them if I remember correctly.

I am pretty sure the stock ones are about the same price as the CF ones through ASB.

I don't have any on mine right now (because of new paint) I don't like the look I am going to have to buy some unless I find some used, it looks unfinished without them. .02
