    Noticed this Headlamp the other day on ebay produced by UFO thought it was close to a 80s Husky headlamp, It cost around £40 $60 what do you think Yes or No

    Dave J,
    I like it. Integrated front round number plate will match the side number plates. I say yes.

    Looks good. I had high hopes, but regretably won't work if you have a speedo fitted that sits in front of the bars ...

    Dave, here's a photo of what it looked like mounted up.

    As I said - the problem was that the number plate didn't leave enough room for the speedo, which meant that the side bits wouldn't sit flush to the fork tubes. If it wasn't for that, I would have used it. It may fit with a viper type speedo?

    Cheers

    Drill a hole for the cable and cut a small slot to get it in there. Looks like it would work perfect that way.

    Hi Motorsportz - sorry, I don't think I was clear enough. It wasn't the cable stopping the unit sit flush to the fork tubes, it was the actual speedo unit (the bit with the needle and the mph numbers). The OEM Husky headlight cowl physically has more room behind the number panel to fit the speedo into, whereas this UFO one is much flusher to the forks.

    Acerbis lights have a mounting system that has clearance behind the light for larger speedo heads and front brake cable clearance. No other headlights other than OEM have the clearance needed...researched and dealt with this issue
