Z1a Headlight

#1 PostAuthor: BigZCas » Fri Jun 30, 2017 12:44 pm

Tricky one :)
Does anyone know if the UK Z1a had a triple ring Headlight or a single rim headlight held in with W clips.
The one that I removed had a single rim, the light glass was the original UK Koito type with the sidelight bulb.
The Koito light will fit both :?:
Any help please ?

Thank you :D
Next question :lol:
Does anyone have one in fair condition that they would be willing to sell me as mine is very poorly :(
I have now noticed that the UK Z650 also have the single rim.
They are slightly tappers so that the glass fits snugly against it, Part No Stanley 001-0877
Thanks
