Here is the first "production" bezel off the line. I will be testing this one over several weeks to find its breaking point on multiple levels. I am very happy with the way they turned out, although creating them is still not as easy as I'd like,.. still a lot of labor to make a single one of these.
Off the bike
On the bike
From down low, showing how close the "brow" is to the lights
Looking down, showing no overhang or "nose" sticking out from the bike (even though it is decieving, there is nothing sticking out)
From the side
And dark with the lights on
Again, I plan to have testing done in 2-3 weeks then I will be ready to start punching these out. They will be $130, plus shipping and you will have a choice between gloss black or flat black. This is for the 2010 and up model bikes, unless equipped with the 2010 and up headlight assembly. 2009 and older bezel will be available after the first of the year. I may still offer a "DIY" kit at a much cheaper price, but I will talk about that once testing is done and Im ready to start selling these.
There will also more then likely be a couple weeks wait right off the bat, due to each one of these are made by hand one by one and do take a lot of time. Once testing is done I am going to be producing half a dozen or so to stay ahead of the game,. but unsure how fast they will sell.
More info will be posted later, including where to buy it and pictures at night showing any decrease in lighting that may occur.
If you have any other questions, please ask them here and I will answer them asap.
***UPDATE - 10/26/12***
First round of testing went down today,.. high speeds (up to 115MPH), bumpy roads (hit some wash board gravel roads), and the bezel is now sitting in the freezer until tomorrow when I'll do a cold impact test.
So far, its exceeding my expectations and Im excited. Sometime next week Im hoping to do comparison pictures and video of the lights at night to the stock bezel. That way you know exaclty how much,. if any light blockage is happening.
***UPDATE - 11/5/12***
On page 6 are pictures comparing the Mean Mug to the stock bezel light output. In comparison photos there is NO difference, so those of you that had doubts about blocking light can rest assured the mean mug bezel does not block any light output at night. These are on a stock bulb setup.
