The Hondaline headlight guard was a very popular first upgrade for new ATC owners. It was constructed as a thin tube cage that surrounds and protects directional headlights on many 1980s ATC and ATV models. Some even included a brush guard to protect the headlight lens from limbs and kicked up roost. The design is fairly simple with the mounting ends flattened and drilled so the cage could be fastened to the triple tree clamp.
