Curvey US headlight same as UK - SV650.org

BoltonSte · 25-09-09, 03:53 PM

I have a couple of S headlights, a UK one with some damage to the rear casing and a perfect US one.

Split them today so that I could swap the internals and get a 'perfect' UK light (80deg oven is perfect for this btw) and the reflectors are the same in both. They are mounted the same and the same shape, there's enough play in the top and bottom adjusters to use it on left or right hand roads.

Just thought I'd share, I forgot to take photo's, as it could be useful to somone needing a spare.

Does this mean it's possible to do the same with a european one?

Euro one is totally different, it has a projector type lens on left. I think you can reuse casing if mounts snap though.

Never seen a euro one YC so weren't sure.

Although this now means I have 2 headlights I can sell to empty santa's grotto which is all good.
