  • Bolt on round 7" headlight for 1978E

    I would really like to use these cafe fairings, but i have the standard with the sqaure headlight. It would give me the perfect wind protection because i'm so short that i'm already slightly crouched down when i'm riding ahhahah! Anybody know of any round 7inchers that would bolt on/plug right onto our bikes? thnx sorry forgot one, thing if at all possible not a sealed beam.

    here's the link to the fairing

      Well, I just checked MikesXS.com and theirs are $69.00!

      But you'll notice that on the eBay one that there isn't a channel for the headlight stay and bolt required to position and stabilize it for a specific vertical alignment/aiming!! The one on MikesXS DOES have the slot!

      The other photos for the eBay unit shows a small hole in the bottom of the bowl where perhaps you could bolt a bracket to for the vertical stabilizing function. And it looks like it uses the replaceable bulbs instead of sealed beams, even though it doesn't say it in the description!
