[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 306099, member: 956"] Double post, but at a later time.. Baja Designs is FAST on their delivery. Ordered Tuesday the rock guards, arrived today! And the DO cover the outer housing / front ring / outer o-ring seal completely. I can see how these rock guards could prevent leakage past the outer o-ring and/or screws into the light assembly. Very tight fit, and in my case, they completely cover the red ring / o-ring / main housing interface. Of course, the cover should not be needed at all given a properly designed and manufactured double o-ring system. I treated both my o-rings with a good GE dielectric o-ring 'grease' (long ago outlawed by the feds, good luck on finding a replacement), ensured the outer red ring was seated as good as can be, installed the covers, and am ready to test. Matter of fact, it's supposed to rain this weekend - so I'll be temping a mounting arrangement and going for a ride as soon as the first rain drop hits our area. Let me be clear here - Ian has done one helluva job getting this Group Buy together, and I'm sure it has been on RPITA to him - this is a BD issue, not an Ian issue. Hold the proper folks accountable, and make sure it isn't SkyWay. -DC [/QUOTE]
