non US unit. the parking light was a European fit? I think. domestic (japan) did not have the parking light either, I think. anyways, tough to find. just get one of Charlies modern repops and you are good to go.
good luck

Not seen that one before but plenty of others out there with what we Brits call a pilot light and replaceable main bulb.

Those US - style sealed beams are not very classic bike friendly.....

The eBay lamp (in Canada) that I linked to also uses a clip but also uses a modern (ish) bulb so should give plenty of choice. I think you might even get a 35w Halogen bulb of that one.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Do you know if the glass was glued to the reflector? There is no trace of any type on my reflector. Maybe I can just put on the glass from a different light. Do those lights from Charlie work well?

Charlies lights work well. just make sure you get the right bulb and a spare from him. you need a low wattage bulb for the Honda charging system to work, they are very difficult to find, Charlie has them.
