Headlight

My MOT tester has stated that my headlight is a european one and not a uk one....beam points the wrong way. Would anyone have a uk headlight for sale? Does anyone have a link to one? Another challenge for Z1bman??
I've been told this would do:

Any comments?

Hi Mick, Zpower say they are no longer available and are quite rare but did mention something about mini headlights, so I thought someone here may know something, obviously not the case then

if your not bothered about originality then the wipac ones should be perfectly ok & be a slight improvement on the original

Z1bman, thanks for the response. It's good to know that the wipac one will keep an MOT tester happy.

What bike? I have a rectangular J/ELR/GPz spare. If looking for round i do have a couple but not sure what from. Give me the diameter and i'll measure. They are complete units removed from my Harris and Z900 but they are not original Z parts. Will get you through an MOT though!

Martin thanks for the offer, it did pass an MOT and he did state that he sees a few like it. So I thought I would start looking into alternatives. I would very much like to stay original but sourcing one is going to prove difficult, maybe, not fully tried to find one yet. So I may come back to you on this one.

Thanks very much Steve.....more data for me to chew over...could be better than the wipac one, maybe

Scott, any 7" standard light unit will do the job. I just got some from ebay such as item number 160955551450. They are a bit flatter than the standard item so leave a bit more room for wiring & connectors etc. Passed mot ok but I havent rode in the dark yet! Comes with pilot light & rubber cover for the back (although i didnt use the cover).
Hope this helps
Cheers Chris
