Eek!! headlight needed for W650

#1 Post by snapdragon » Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:41 am

a friend has had a misfortune with her W650 and we're looking for a new headlight, anyone have one? Or know of another that fits so we can have a check round the breakers?

Is that the Bonne wannabe? Sounds expensive.
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

Good luck.. They're like rocking horse shit! You may be better off finding a universal item thats about the same size and changing the entire unit. :smt001
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

seems it's in excess of 500 britos :( which is 10x what the Raptor replacement cost as I recall

lol you say Bonnie - someone else said BSA but I thought the frame looked like the Norton - so to me more like a Triton

thanks @Willo, I think that may be the way to go
