Hi All

Can anybody tell me what the headlights in a MK1 (125mm) are from and will they fit in my MK2 (135mm) as i've picked up a MK1 fairing and tail unit so need to change the headlights.
Thanks.

I think that's the standard.
If you want night driving then get a pair of H4 lamps and have them mounted on an alloy plate.

You could buy the ZXR / gsxr headlights and use them as a pattern

the headlight unit in it is plastic and the lights are 128.8mm dia, but being moulded into the plastic mounting plate I cant reuse the plate, so ideas please.

There's a thread on here about a mod done to sb6 lights, mounted in a handmade aluminium plate.

Some owners cut the lights out and mount new lamps on the plastic back plate. You might want relays if you go for higher wattage bulbs
