|
|
Having a bit of a tidy up and want to change one of the headlights of mk1 sb6.
Does anybody know which bike they came from? It says Stanley 5729 on the lens. The closest I have found is from an rc29 but the mount is wrong.
At the same time I am changing the plastic mounting bracket which is held together with a piece of number plate to a machined alloy one. Can't see it but I know it's there.
Thanks

The lights changed between Mk1 and Mk2, the Mk1 has smaller dia than the Mk2.
I don't know which bike the Mk1 is from but the zxr / gsxr sounds familiar. You could measure them, look for a replacement and make a mount for the new lamps _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

Thanks all,
Got one from Kawasaki for the ZXR. It's a different mount but I can change that.

That's pretty much how mine look. If you find they fit tight because the lamps are bigger at the back then undo the coolant expansion tank. _________________ Don't read everything you believe |
