Quick question… When riding abroad do you need those reflector sticky things for your headlamps?
July 19, 2010 at 5:34 pm #61016HippoDronesParticipantdepends on their design but probably.
Just use gaffa tape, tis what I used on the GPz for its MoT as it is a French import so it dips the wrong side

If I’m taking the ferry I usually ask for a GB sticker, stick it on the back and use the remaining sticky bit to block out the raised part of the beam. Works as well as a beam bender if you ask me as I can’t tell the difference when the beam is diverted.
Not sure how the police abroad would react if they were having a bad day, but you could say it has “just fallen off” and you were trying to get to the nearest garage to fix it.
