4.5 inch Headlight
« on: May 21, 2016, 03:45:36 pm »
Hi,
Chasing a 4.5 inch (116mm) headlight to go in my '82 WR430 Husky.
As long as the globe is removable I don't really mind what it came off.
Let me know what you've got.

You can find them online everywhere if you look for a universal 4.5" bates type headlight they sell for harleys and other cruisers. Theres always plenty on ebay. They usually come in a chrome or black shell but you just dice that. You can often find just the insert too.

This is one i have

has a modern clear lens and diamond cut reflector though. If you need the old style fluted lens, well they are out there but you just gotta look a bit harder.

If money is no object then this is pretty much the best you can get. Never blow a globe again.

I have checked and they are road legal here and suitable for LHT, beam is straight down center.
