Really love this bike and love the headlamp which I believe is not original.
1972 Honda CB500 Four Cafe Racer For Sale (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRTizZChD6Y#)
Wrote to the guy on youtube, no answer. Is anyone able to identify the headlamp and where I can get it? ;)

I've never seen one quite like that before.

looks like an aluminium saucepan with sealed beam unit stuck in the end...what do you like about 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!
I managed to locate the headlamp on sohc.net it's from a site called benjies cafe racers.
