Cb175k6.

<< < (3/3)

K2-K6:
As Bryan mentioned, they are effectively a standard size. Variously described as 6", 5 3/4, 160mm being measured at outer rim (absolute diameter of unit) or just the lens diameter the light passes through. All the same std though.

It's the 400/4 shell which is odd I believe, being not big enough for full size 7" lights but too big for the industry standard next size down, these were then supplied with a adapter ring to get the smaller size into the 400 rim mounting.

Others I think just used the naked small size straight into the bike rim and looking at your yam one will tell you that definitely, also of further compatibility in the 175 hopefully.

I wanted to change the headlight on my CB100N, I bought a chrome CB900 complete unit from Feked Classic Bike Parts, although the headlight is physically bigger being 7" diameter the mounting points are recessed so it fitted between the bikes mounting brackets. Just had to change the bulb for a 6v one. Don't know what the bracket distances are on a CB175K6 but might be worth a look?

Quick update.
I have found the rarest of rare thing!
Whilst browsing ebay. I stumbled upon. A concave Cibie H4 headlight unit. Which was listed as Cb175 complete with chrome rim. So I took a chance on it. And it is indeed a perfect fit. The rim is stamped "Cibie"
So they must have produced the complete unit as a whole.
I am very pleased. To say the least.
Moral is. Never give up.

Laverda Dave:
Wow, that's a result, congratulations.
Can you tell me next week's lottery numbers please 😁

Arch stanton:
Cheers Dave I honestly did not think such a thing existed.
Maybe I will find that RD400 fork brace after all 😛
