    Great news.
    This reminds me of a question I keep meaning to ask ....
    The new sealed beam units (bulb) are 12 volt. What about the bikes that run 6 volts ?
    I am tempted to buy a new headlamp unit, but would need to source a 6 volt "bulb".
    Seem to remember that they were fitted to the old Ford tractors too, were these 6 volt ?

    Try looking at the Hella website, they have a lot of tractor sealed beams

    Other options is to look on ebay for a custom or Harley type 4 & 1/2 " light insert that uses a bulb and then you can select 6 or 12 volt.

    one that comes to mind is http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/produ...e=&catId=&productId=pH22081&leafCatId=&mmyId=

    I have one of these an i think it does fit the old PP headlight but not the one with the vented plate. i would have to check to be sure if you were interested in getting one. You can also get them with a more old style glass lens, but the clear with diamond cut reflector is obvoiusly better.

    Tanks 250Z,
    I will go searching in the shed for an old PP front light unit. The one I have is fairly shot and 12v.
    Funnily enough I still have a NOS PP front light unit with the vented number board. Not that I like the look of it !

    Just run the 12 volt bulbs...
    They work fine. A little dim but they never blow..

    I did think about that, but it would make riding off road at night just that little bit more interesting ! 6 volts is bad enough, but a 12v bulb would be glow worm technology.
    Just need to sort the wiring out before I get carried away.
    If there are any Husky electrical experts out there, please see my other post about wiring and joining the white and yellow wires together.
