headlight visor

Does anyone know where to find a eyelid type visor? Bellacorse has been sold out of them for a while.

Oooooh, and my morning was going so good. True enough, I am sold-out of the "Eye Lid" headlight visor. So is my supplier, who doesn't have a clue when they will get more other than to say "we will."

I do feel somewhat compelled to add that the visors sold elsewhere are NOT the same visor that I sell (or sold). Mine is a true 'lead sled' style visor which is stamped with compounds curves. It actually looks like an eyelid. The edges are rolled as well.

I tried the JC Whitney VW visor (stone guard too). Total krap IMHO. I have no desire to sell the $10 rolled sheetmetal visors.

I would suggest checking classic hot rod shops and catalogs as these are the folks who are really anal about little details like visors.

Visor

I got one years ago from Dennis Kirk. Better made than Whitney, but a pain to put on. Takes 2 sets of hands!

I don't know about the rest of you but putting an eye lid on the headlight of a Triumph Bonneville makes me think of Grandma down in Florida -

Visor

It does nothing for function. I put it on for the true classic look. I have a Black & Chrome 04 so it just helped w/ the true "retro look". The Kirk one has a locking clip that is a PIA to put on but once there wont fall off if you gotta pop the light. You either like it or hate it?
Just one of those things?
