A Headlight is a headlight is a headlight!

The only bit different between an import and a UK spec is a £6 deflector inside it!
ie from left to right hand drive and vice versa. Ring somewhere like Baines racing they will confirm, and sell you the bit.

In that case I've got one (the reflector) sitting in the garage from a UK bike when I cracked the lens.

Whoever wants it can have it for the price of postage.

Thanks
 
Thanks guys for all of your help, I think the bottom line is that generic parts such as indicators etc are relativley easy to come buy. Iit is the colour coding of the mirrors and body panels which are going to prove the most difficult to get my mits on. All I can say is I will keep you all informed and hopefully will meet some of you in teh new year with a bike that looks like it did the day i picked it up.

Aha! I checked my "spare" light unit today, to see if I could find it.

It appears that not only can you remove the whole projector light unit from the headlight casing, but you can also unscrew the back of the light unit and get to the little bit of metal which dips the beam the right way!

In fact, I reckon that you can simply take this out and turn it round on a Euro headlamp to turn it into a UK one, as it looks like it's mounted on screws.

I might take some pics next time I'm in the garage...

Silvester the colour is not a problem for a good paint shop. Its the texture of the paint thats the problem. My brother dropped his last year with just a minor scuff to the lower r/h panel. He put a sticker kit on it in the end.
