Headlight Grille | BMW R nineT

A motorcycle headlight grille protects the front lens against gravel spray, small impacts and light knocks, while bringing a strongly marked style. It is an emblematic part of café racer, scrambler and neo-retro builds, inherited from the world of racing and off-road where fragile headlights were protected. Beyond protection, it dresses the round headlight and instantly gives character to the front of the machine. The quality of the material and the finish then makes the difference between a basic grille and a workshop part that lasts. Our FCR Original headlight grille for the BMW R nineT illustrates this approach.

No, a well-designed headlight grille does not significantly reduce the motorcycle's lighting. Its thin bars cover only a small part of the lens surface and let the beam through, by day as well as by night. The aim is to protect the headlight without hindering its function. You simply have to make sure, during a technical inspection or intensive night use, that the grille stays clean and correctly positioned. Our FCR Original headlight grille for the BMW R nineT is designed in this spirit: protecting the lens while preserving lighting efficiency.

This headlight grille is offered in two finishes: Noir and Brossé. The Noir version blends into the whole of the motorcycle for a sober and discreet rendering. The Brossé version plays the card of exposed metal, for a more assertive contrast and a workshop spirit. The choice depends on your taste and the rest of your build. Both finishes share the same design and the same inspection in our FCR Original workshop.

Installation is done by reusing the original headlight hardware, with no drilling. Here are the main steps: 1. Hold the headlight, then unscrew the nuts while holding it. 2. Remove the original star-shaped screws. 3. Position the headlight grille and the headlight, then refit the star-shaped screws. 4. Set the headlight inclination using the oblong hole, being careful not to damage the mudguard. 5. Retighten the nuts once the orientation is correct. Important: the oblong hole determines the headlight inclination, to be set carefully before the final tightening. The complete assembly instructions accompany the product. If you are not comfortable with this type of work, we recommend entrusting it to a professional.

This headlight grille is made of metal, with a Noir or Brossé finish depending on the variant. Its bar structure is designed to withstand spray and small impacts while staying thin and light. The careful finish keeps an impeccable allure over time, even after intensive use. This care in manufacture and finish is what sets our FCR Original grille apart from a generic accessory.
