Nice head light holders

[Tango]

Nice timing Michael, This is my next job on the project i’m doing.

Ive picked up some not to bad condition headlamp brackets, Going to see if I can get them on,& still get the headlight between them? It looks like a tight fit? 😕

Hi Tango,

the XBR500 brackets match the original headlight of the 750Twins very well. I have just used some – estimated 3 to 5 mm – spacers /washers between holder and lamp to fix the headlight firmly without bending the aluminium XBR brackets to much.
Sometimes I am using a wind screen which holders fit in there without the spacers.

To fit these head light holders you have to move the fork legs out of the triple trees(?). They are a single piece unit, simple bolt on to a complete front fork is not possible.

Cheers, Michael

Hi Lonesome Twins,

if you would like to swap the head light holder there are a lot of universal head light holders out there.
If you like to have a clean and “worthful” holder try the ones from a Honda XBR500. Just an easy adjustment to the rubbers in the holder and you’ve got it 😉
Not the cheapest choice but much more clean and elegant than the universal ones 😉

Have fun,
Michael
