concours Posted May 17, 2007 Share #1 Posted May 17, 2007 I'm thinkin' I'd like a more conventional headlight bezel to replace the one with the built in visor... anyone make the transformation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

concours Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted May 18, 2007 I've reviewed the parts diagrams here http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/parts/home.aspx and found the '96-'01 headlight bucket to be different than the '05-up.... I don't know what it is with the Asian cruiser designers... like the big Kaw Vulcan 2000 and Yam Stratolounger with their Sci-Fi headlights... just look out of place on retro styled cruisers...

Guest Yamahawg Posted May 18, 2007 Share #4 Posted May 18, 2007 I have been told there is a bike junkyard about 30 - 40 mins from me. I dont know exactly where it is located but am going looking for it in the near future. If I find it, I will ask them about the headlight bezels and get back to ya if they have a solution. Sometimes Junk Yard guys are pretty darn knowledgable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concours Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted May 19, 2007 Thanks, Y-hawg.. that would be cool. For two screws, you could try it for fit in the parking lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yamahawg Posted May 23, 2007 Share #6 Posted May 23, 2007 I went up to the salvage place today and took a look. So far it looks like our only option is to get a complete used headlight assembly and swap it out. I came back home and took a look thru quite a few different years of parts diagrams. Several of the headlights are the same size but I havent found one yet that the 'headlight rim' attaching screw is on the same side as ours. If I come up with a good match I will let ya know.
