Tell him you need a headlight lens for a 1977 R100/7. Same headlamp. Different beam pattern for UK vs rest of world The BMW parts fiche shows a UK version of the lens. In the US it comes with the gasket. About $30USD last I bought. Best of luck. Contact me if you have no luck, I can provide BMW number for the UK lens.

I've been worried about that lens sticking out there while all the local gravel trucks lose rocks on Loop 820. By the way, what do you recommend as protection for that piece of glass?
rossoandy Posted August 9, 2005 Author Posted August 9, 2005 You could also try www.rebootguzzispares.com 57463[/snapback] yeah tried them several times....ironic thing is they had my last V1100 Rosso for breaking and of course..headlamp was fine! Even more strange whilst in Isle O Mann for TT got talkin to this guy who just purchased a damaged V1100 fuell tank from a breakers...guess waht...it was my old one!! Ballacraine you know who you are..
todd haven Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Todd, thanks for the tip. I've been worried about that lens sticking out there while all the local gravel trucks lose rocks on Loop 820. By the way, what do you recommend as protection for that piece of glass? 57482[/snapback] Txrider, contact these guys: http://www.xpel.com/ Good stuff, protects well against anything .22 caliber or smaller. Well worth it. Buy a big sheet, you'll find other uses for the stuff. We use it on hand-held scanners, etc. to protect the view windows. We have been pleased with the optical clarity over a several year test. Follow the instructions, clean thoroughly , and use alcohol as needed On the lens I mean.

Apologies also to any Japanese forum members who may be viewing.... Any others?
Martin Barrett Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 By the way, what do you recommend as protection for that piece of glass? Ventura the makes of the bike pack system also do headlamp guards. Not that I use either. But perhaps one day.
Guest Steve_W Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Earlier this year, my '01 Triumph Trophy got a black eye from a rock. The Trophy has two headlights and they come as a unit. Cost was USD 278, about 155 pounds, 225 Euro. I've been considering the Ventura covers but haven't done it yet. I may look up Todd's Xpel stuff now that I know about it.
