Ducati may have contacted the same company and after a bit of discussion decided to use the same headlight - it would be a much cheaper way of doing things. Same for carbs, wheels, disks, brake calipers, brake master cylinders, chains... etc etc!

Do tell the name of the company and preferably the part number as well!!

I know I have one with a hole in it somewhere in the garage, but normally there's a manufacturer's name on there somewhere. It might be worth a bit of Googling to see if you can find any cross-reference numbers.

I need to take some bits off the bike & I'll look for a name and part numbers and see what I can find.

Sounds nuts but a possible fit is the early Metro car ones, should be cheap as chips.

I've managed to pick one up at a reasonable price but will look into the metro headlight for a possible spare.
