I picked up a bracket/headlight assy for F to E Conversion, but the outer ring/rim is bent. Also, I'd like a clear lens. What are my options for replacement?
I did some research, and it seems that -
A) Rim only - Ebay, OEM ($40... no), or an aftermaket (does one exist?)
A1) Replacement Clear lens??
B) Ebay Chinese replacement (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Clear-Headlight-Suzuki-Bandit-1200-600-GN-125-250-GS-500-E-VX-800-/200938665539?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ec8e0b643&vxp=mtr) for the whole housing, which will probably take weeks to get here.
C) SV650 Aftermarket 'OEM Style' Replacement from Delkevic (http://www.delkevic.us/?section=shop&product_category=electrical_components_vbntm&sub_category=headlights_4x2t4&product=suzuki_headlights&variant=suzuki_sv650&start=0&search_term=&order_by=l)
D) Some other option that I haven't considered?
I'm trying to keep expenses to minimum.
Post in the "wanted / for sale" section? Always works for me....
The reflector in that eBay Chinese replacement is poor....the original Suzuki has a more intense/more defined beam(same bulb).I enquired about returning mine & was given a $20 refund as compensation.
When i get around to it i was thinking of converting my light to HID since the bucket on the Chinese is plastic & easily worked(need more bucket space cos of the longer HID bulb)
I have not looked yet about swapping over glass only.
The Chinese & Delkevic's look the same to me. :dunno_black:

hmm, you're right, so it's like paying for expedited shipping ;), although sv forums had good comments about delkevic's. There's also an emgo headlight (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Gloss-Black-Headlight-Cafe-Racer-Bobber-Motorcycle-Headlight-Emgo-7-/190876493387?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c7120264b&vxp=mtr) (complete) but with a sealed beam lens.
The Emgo can't be sealed beam cos it says "Replaceable H4 Halogen bulb"
Pity we can't see actual pic comparisons of a working light compared to an OEM,compare reflectors.
