Precise reproduction of Dream headlamp with replaceable bulb

[Gun]

exclusively for the dream or for the cb77 as well?

if someone made a CLOSE repro of the cb77 mufflers i'd be game, mine are dented and rusting on the bottoms, but all other options i see out there don't look remotely like the stock.

Gun,

What type would that be ? There are several types out there.

oh I dont' have the knowledge to answer you adequately i'm afraid.

it's a '65 bike.
the headers separate from the pipes. they are pea shooters. that's about all I know on that. I never really stopped to think about it before. :/

Best news I've gotten in a long time, Kev! Keep us posted. My resto got sidelined for a bit but I'm back on the case this winter and headlamp, crash bars and rear fender bumper are all on the wish list!

I will definitely let you all know. All the produce should be available sometime in January.

I have been looking for a headlight for 10 years; so I epoxied a bulb socket from a Kawasaki 3 wheeler that fit but it was too short and the focal length of the light was different then the sealed beam unit so it wouldn't focus and was only good for about 30ft at night; so I only rode it in the daytime.

I tried lately to take out the epoxied socket and broke the sealed beam unit so now I need new headlight.

There have been numerous discussions over the years (I have lurked on this site since 2005) and this is the first time I have heard of the "European solution"; you guys over the pond holding out on us, huh. Does it cost as much as a used sealed beam and where can you buy one.

Hi,

Why don't you buy an European version, it has the replaceable bulb setup (and a parking light too).
And while you're busy, here on the forum there is a link to a company who sells special bulbs for old bikes, ask eSteve for details, but using the search function is also possible.

Jensen, I forgot to add that over here the purist would say that if you put a European light unit on your bike it is no longer stock and you have to go into the "Custom Group" on inspection day.
