Post by Pablo Bighair »

Just a question to those who have Rogue or Revision 6 headlights.

UPDATE:
Panic over, I don't need new headlamp cowls - yay!

All is not necessarily lost though. Give Rogue a call. I got new shrouds (plus the adjusters as those were also too far gone to reuse) from them last October.

As the shrouds are simply painted metal it's worth giving them some protection. I'm not convinced that powdercoating is the best solution though. Use ACF-50 or Boeshield T-9. Not a bad idea to make an annual inspection part of your maintenance schedule.
If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much room!

Still many people here, many of us are not interested in farcebook ;)
We still average 200- 300 vistors a day according to Google Analytics, so still worth posting here I.M.O.

You may find that when you remove the adjusters from the backing plate or try to pop them back in the plastic holders will snap, happens to me every time! I would get some spares just in case.

Also other than the fabricated bits everything else is bought off the shelf, if you can find the parts you can usually save a fair bit buying from elsewhere.
There is no "it cant be done" only "I cant do it!"
