Picked up on eBay for $20 or so. Nice bottom mount aluminum housing with a European light/lens. Made the mount adapter, one hole up for the headlight, two down to the stock headlight mounting.

some to think about I bought a dropped bike and the shell had broken off at the mounts ... took it all off and made some cloth patches for inside and outside and after using a moto tool sanding drum to rough up the surfance and cleaning it all with alcohol I carefully laid the bandages in place with some regualr set epoxy ... that was almost 2 years ago ... about 30 mins work and 2 dollars in materials ... and the repair can't be seen ... I also looked up a replacement and laughed at 75 dollars for what I considered a molded salad bowl ... good luck all

How could it be plastic crap if it has been fooling so many for so long time? Just wondering.
