I don't understand why these brush guards don't come with a steel mesh cover to keep branches from hitting the lenses at all. Seems like it would be easy to do.
GreenMtnMan--it would not be difficult to spot weld some kind of steel gridwork to the armor, but would make it a tad difficult to change bulbs. BTW--NW Oregon and the central coast of your state is awesome. In three weeks we will fly into PDX and head to Yachats and nearby areas for a week of R&R (skipping the gorge this time). Michael S.
