Uk rear light.

Bryanj:
Basically you will be discharging the battery below about 4,000 rpm, if you can live with riding it loud no problem, I may (or may not) have a light bracket but will not be able to search till mid may due to holiday prep then holiday, If you havent found one by then by all means remind me

Arch stanton:
Below 4,000rpm  eh. Maybe that's why I never had problems. My riding style has changed since then though.

Thanks for your offer. Hopefully I will have found what I need. But if not I'll give you a nudge.

Look very similar from outside,  depends if you like the dip beam though.

Interesting, does this item fit straight into the original honda headlamp bowl or does it require modifying?

K2-K6:
They are more or less a univereal fitting ( most 7inch units are the same with very, very few exceptions) so will fit with no mods to bike or car headlight shells.

The Z and H 180 units were common to both cars and bikes when originally fitted as higher spec modifications, you'd see them in Mk2 rally escorts,  for example.

Rim tabs and orientation are the same.

If you're not specifically after a Cibie,  then the slightly later Honda fitted "Stanley H4" marked, flat lens glass headlights have a really good beam pattern. They've an almost "searchlight" like main beam that's particularly impressive which I've fitted to rally cars before as they are so good,  especially as a pair.

Bulbs,  I feel the "Phillips white vision xenon effect" with a colour temp of 4300k are the best I can find to use currently. They are nearer the current headlights in that they are blue er, but mostly give the best dip beam performance without going to higher wattage.

Arch stanton:
Very good information. Very well put.
Cheers Nigel. I now know which way I'm going.
No pun intended.
