Dog Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'd check first, many motorcycle headlamps just have adjusting screws to angle the reflector to left or right.http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/Are very good for Honda spares and give good discount - though I have a pet Honda Dealer that will slightly better his prices but I pay cash upfront.

sid Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Perhaps "vitre de phare"David Silver is pretty good for Honda spares but you're unlikely to get a non-UK glass in England, I think, although you may be lucky, he tends to stock parts for UK models.Is it just the glass you need? I can't remember when sealed beam headlamps came in, but it was years ago, and I have a 1998 Honda VFR and that would require a full headlamp, not just a glass.Why not try one of the motorcycle forums, this is a good one, (check out the Honda section!) http://www.bikersoracle.com/central/forum/ or Ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Here's one on Ebay, damaged rim but you only wanted the headlamp itself!http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CB250-Nighthawk-91-99-Headlight-Headlamp-/350478443071 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks[/quote]Doh! Your original post says GLASS![blink] But the item I highlighted on Ebay is complete, lens plus glass (plus damaged metal rim). I don't believe you can get just a lens (or just a glass), they're bonded together surely?? If yours are separate then they've probably broken! Without the seal the lens will get wet and be ruined in a very short space of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 CLANG! I see now that you mean for Europe! It was the LHD which threw me... it doesn't really apply to motorbikes does it, at least as far as I've ever seen. [:D] I read your post as meaning for driving on the left.Generally UK headlamps dip to the left, but some continental ones have a flat cutoff (which works slightly better for cornering).Sorry!
