Like most Mantra 1 series owners, I decided this summer to change my front H4 headlight to a lenticular one.

Before :



After :



To realize this operation, you need :

- a new headlight,
- and a new odometer reset knob.

The odometer knob is necessary because it's necessary to put the speedometer at your right when you are on the bike. The new lenticular headlight has two bulbs inside so the back side is bigger than the H4 headlight so it's impossible to plug the speedometer cable without breaking it after few kilometers.

Like a lot of spare parts, BIMOTA doesn't sold it.

But....I found near the same from Harley Davisdon or Custom Chrome for 8 USD on the bay.

You can buy the knob of FX Models (73 to 84).



You just need to cut the cable to the right dimension and plug a new piece of metal or plastic at the end to plug it on the odometer pin.

I hope it will help you.
