If they are the same then the headlights would be the same. CMSNL.com has THE most extensive listings of bikes by country. Give them a try for cross referencing.

The US and Euro headlights could well be the same but they dip to the right, UK headlights dip to the left so the chances of the references being the same is slim. More likely to be the same as "Oceana"(sp? :-\) models have the same refence numbers, those from NZ, AUS, Japan.

I took the frame along to the breakers to try one in but they had nothing, but to be honest they look the same as the standard unit, must have fitted hundreds of them to cars over the years. Somebody else said that they are the same as the car ones.

If its a US Motorcyle unit it MIGHT dip straight up and down which is OK, car ones from the US go the wrong way but any UK 7 inch car unit will fit

At least one of them dips to the right, it has the cut out and the arrow, the car ones tend to be curved and I really want a flat one.
Whilst I am here I have four bikes in my garage and need to protect them until next year when I will be using at least two of them. They get a bit damp in there, moisture forms on them and can I spray them with something to keep them good. I thought waxoil and then wash it off next year.
Would have them in my bedroom but the wife would have to go first, any good home appreciated.

A liberal spray of WD40 and a bowl of moisture crystals underneath the bike (beneath the dust cover)
