Now that it's on...I like it.
There is a key point that is missed in the instructions. I have a GSA and wanted a Lexan cover for the headlight. The Lexan piece screws in with 4 fasteners. They thread through the holes in the holder and the Lexan, then into 4 rubber posts with a brass threaded piece inside. If you put this together as the illustration shows, the 4 screws will not touch the inner threads of the rubber posts.
So...you have to really push hard on them until they do...and this is not made clear. I tried putting the posts in backwards and lots of other things before finally trying this. I was about the return the whole thing.
When you push hard, the threads can engage, then they compress the rubber cause it to expand against the holes in the Lexan, holding it firmly close to, but not touching the metal holder and away from the light source. Perfect!!!
It's a great design. The resistance of the hinges can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the threaded hinge bolts a litle. The washer set allows them to hold the tension.
I put a little vaseline in the rubber fasteners to make them a little easier to undo. They're pretty tight. Silicone would probably do as well or better.
I wanted something that would be easy to clean, wouldn't destroy the optics of the light and would look good. This does all that. Great!.
