Identifying this headlamp.
« on: April 17, 2011, 07:16:51 AM »
Really love this bike and love the headlamp which I believe is not original.

1972 Honda CB500 Four Cafe Racer For Sale

Wrote to the guy on youtube, no answer. Is anyone able to identify the headlamp and where I can get it?  ;)

Looks more like an american manufacture original either bike or old trucks seem to have these fairly large headlight shells on them, by the look of the rest of the bike it looks like he's not had it made from scratch though.

Have a look in some US chopper mags/catalogues for anything close.

It gives it an even more Deco/Retro feel I really like it!

That MZ  :o is a work of genius!
