mike the bike:
I spotted that too.  Don't bin them though, someone on here will be able to identify them.   Once identified you can flog them on fleabay.
I'm well jealous of your blast cabinet, I could have done with one of those.

Craig CB400:
Interesting spot that, there are a few possible headlight type brackets in the boxes of bits, will have to have a dig about. So I wonder what the ears are off, have to say they do fit really well!

Craig CB400:
Not needing much of an excuse to go off at a tangent, having done a bit of a Google search on the ears I think they are off a CB500 or CB550 based on the pictures I have seen, they suit the bike really well, but not original so not going back on.

With that in mind I have had a dig through the boxes of bit and have found something that resembles the headlight bracket as below. From my understanding though, the headlight bracket should also have the indicator mounting stalks on them as well, whereas with what I found it looks like there has been some bodging going on, especially looking at the quality of the indicator stalk mounting bracket that looks like it was done as some rubbish school project. Can anyone confirm my suspicions are correct and I need to get a replacement?

Bryanj:
I seem to recolect that the indicators were on a long rod that would have been an extension of the tube at the bottom of the frame you have

Chris400F:
Correct. It should look like this.

I have heard they can get bent (when making contact with the road?) so maybe that is why the ends were lopped off yours.
