Round headlight setup

Post by 48pop » Thu Mar 02, 2017 9:12 pm

Hi Folks
My '82 should have a round headlight.....But its been updated at some point. I'm looking to return it to its correct appearance, (at the front anyways...)

Some searching thro the forum says I'll need "everything from the top bearing locknut upwards"...Can anyone help with the required parts ?

Thanks !

Gerry

If I were in your shoes I would firstly dismantle your existing set up, taking photographic evidence along the way.
You'll then clearly be able to see what you've got.
Then take a look at the schematic diagram above and start comparing.
It would also help if you knew someone with a similar bike who would be willing to take their handlebars apart.
You will also find pics on various people's restorations if you search.

See one of my guides for just this.
