headlight conversion
ianmck:
Hello everyone, I am after a bit of help, just got myself an imported K4, it has just occured to me that before I can get it mot'd I will need to renew the headlight as it dips to the right, before I go out and do a straiht forward replacement, is there a better alternative that anyone might suggest that can be fitted.
Regards to all, stay well, and safe.

My 500/4 has a French Cibie Z-Beam which dips to the right.
My MOT man taped the offending beam pattern, passed the bike and told me that if I took the tape off, he wouldn't notice...

On my 750 there is a screw you can adjust to make the headlight point the other way. No idea if that helps :)

Probably wont work on K4 as the usa used a RH dip sealed beam unit, BUT go to a car scrappie and any 7" light will fit including H4 halogen ones---instant upgrade as long as you dont ride with it on all the time as it will only charge over about 4,500 revs with the charging system in good order.
Cibie grat but dear
If you can live with re-charging the battery a CEV Marchall is fantastic as it has seperate bulbs for main and dip and with a small amount of jiggery pokery you get 220 watts on main beam
