Unfortunately, you're looking at £160 for a new OEM one. But console yourself in the fact that it's not the plastic tabs that hold the headlight to the front subframe, the OEM cost of that is £240!!

when the subframe goes the plastic tabs usually do too, bargain that one i had off you baph

Every now and then a cheap straight front subframe comes up on ebay. I bought one for my bike and found I didn't need it - I sold it to Baph for what it cost me. Headlights, rear subframes and front ones can be got from people like JHS, as Mr Thunderpants says. I got an immaculate undamaged pointy headlight from them for 75 squids. They told me at the time they have quite a few undamaged pointy road bits kicking around from roadbikes they've converted into racebikes

I have no idea what Baph did with it, he might have given you his one and used the one I bought and sold.

I've still got stuff left over from the crash rebuild, I'll sort it all out and stick it up for sale once I get everything out of the lock-up and moved into my new workshop.

Just to clear the above up...

I thought my subframe was bent, so got Lozzo's. When I stripped the bike I found it was the plastic tabs on the headlight unit that were broken, so I kept the original subframe on my bike.

Kwak, you got Lozzo's subframe, for the same price as I paid for it. Lozzo dropped it off near enough at my house, I dropped it off at Stormy for you.
