[BlkZrx]

I spent hours combing the Mid Ohio swap meet for headlights of the large variety.. not a single one, except for the GS 1100 that had one, and he wasn't parting it out..

[MikeG]

What about these?

[scs]

What about these?

more then likely a 7"er

[MikeG]

more then likely a 7"er

The description says 198mm, but that's probably the overall diameter.

Still looks pretty cool to me.

I think I will lurk around in here... I have the FULL ZR-7 conversion, but would love to swap in that 8" beauty Hoping someone will find something :

[Krtismo]

What year('s) GS's had the 8" headlight?

[Dallas]

Brent...could you post a pic of the full 7r coversion?

Si: Just so I'm clear.... your pic is a Zr7 bracket and '04 cb599 headlight kit?

Any suggestions on the best place to pick up the cb599 kit?

Hehehehe......but I'll need another when I get my ZRX, won't I...













Seriously...I hooked up with a fellow member over at the GSResources forum.
Fair price, decent condition. I'm repainting the bucket and the ring has a little minor rust, but still very usable.

OK....not to further complicate things, but I just talked to a guy
who rebuilds GS's and he just told me the "train light" is 9" diameter.

[Simon]

the lens itself is considered 8" but the housing is 9+".

that e-bay link does not look like the big light to me.

EDIT: I think you're correct as he changed the discription from an 1100 to a 1000.

But just to be sure, I e-mailed the seller and asked for the diameter of the HL.

Just got the answer....7"....

[Krtismo]

The search continues.....

[Dallas]

Anyone interested in a trade of some sort...2002 excellent condition fairing and light...Green of course...for just such a train light? For a nice one with zx7 brackets I'll throw in a perfect 02 tail...also green.

Wow. That's a sweet offer.

[mrjensee]

You might order a Headlight for a Honda Nighthawk 750. They still sell the headlight through Honda and Bikebandit complete. It's an 8 incher and is pretty flat and has a chrome shell. At least the 2000 model I had did.

[Dallas]

Q: What year zr7 for the bracket?

(BTW....R/A = Ron Ayers)
