Headlamp lens markings .. which market

<< < (2/2)

Bryanj:
Honda USA ones tend to be sealed beam which dip straight up and down not left or right, you may find the Cibie is directional so it wont pass. I find best aftermarket is a 7 inch unit from a car scrapper!!

Chris400F:
Had a look at the original one from my 400/4 (now has concave Cibie unit fitted).
That is a Stanley 6-0159, and the one on my CB250 G5 is the same.
The glass pattern is symmetrical so no obvious left or right dip.
Looking at the Parts List the same unit is fitted to UK, Euro Direct, German and Swedish bikes so dip must be straight down.
No idea what the various letters moulded in to the lens mean though.
Bryan's scheme may work for 500s and above but those lamps are too large for the smaller bikes.
Oh, and also glad to hear things are looking up for Pete.

Johnwebley:
you could try your local motor factors,

  I have got a 7"  H4 unit in mine,also found a smaller 5 3/4"  H4 with a halogen 35/35w for the little Yam
 both have pilot lights
