Z900 A4 Headlamp ears

#1 PostAuthor: Bill Newman » Wed May 02, 2012 8:16 pm

Had a bad time today whilst rebuilding the front end of my bike. I fitted a replacement headlight ear (for one that came off the bike - because it was bent), only to find that the headlight was angled to the nearside - instead of aligning straight ahead. After thinking the fork legs were twisted I took everything apart and rebuilt it again - with the same result. I checked everything with a laser and found all was straight and square on the forks.


Then I discovered that the ears were different...the original has a dimension of 123mm from the back of the tube to the front edge of the arm whilst the replacement has a dimension of 132mm

Which one is right? I now have to try and find a good one of the right length...

Bill I measured mine at 120mm approx. and they are originals so I would say your 123mm is the correct one.
