AltRider Clear Headlight Guard for Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin ADV Sports

The Africa Twin Adventure Sports has a lot of bodywork up front and very few accessible mounting points — making a proper headlight guard difficult to fit. AltRider engineers solved this by fastening the bracket to the windscreen support and to the cowl support beneath the headlight assembly. The result is a secure, low-profile mount that follows the bike's lines without compromising protection.

A replacement headlight from Honda can run over $1,200. The clear polycarbonate lens shields it from rocks and trail debris while preserving full light output. The stainless steel bracket ties into four factory hard points for a rattle-free fit.

When paired with AltRider crash bars, cleaning requires releasing the top two ball studs and leaning the lens forward to access the headlight — no full removal needed. If you already have AltRider Upper Crash Bars, order the headlight guard in the "without installation bracket" configuration, as the two products share a bracket.

The Africa Twin Adventure Sports has limited mounting points behind that front fairing, which makes fitting a proper headlight guard a real engineering problem. AltRider's solution uses the windscreen support and the cowl support beneath the headlight assembly — two solid anchor points that keep the guard tight to the bike without adding bulk.

A broken headlight on the trail is more than an inconvenience. Replacement from Honda can run over $1,200. The clear polycarbonate lens mounts to four factory hard points via a laser-cut stainless steel bracket. No tools are needed to remove the lens for cleaning — the quick-release system lets you pull it by hand in the field.

When the guard is paired with AltRider Upper Crash Bars, cleaning works differently: release the top two ball studs and lean the lens forward to access the headlight.

Polycarbonate requires specific care to avoid scratching, hazing, or crazing. See the AltRider blog for proper cleaning instructions.
