Any suggestion on a replacement head light?
Would like to keep the stock look.

Treatland has a nice one that looks stock and has replaceable bulbs. Go for 60 watt replacement bulb the 35 blows out super easy.

I got the treatland headlight and ended up 3d printing an adapter ring so you can mount it using all the original hardware. The adapter also fixes the orientation problem. Looks stock. I put a link to the 3d printer file on the treatland website. The bulb they sell is not that great and burns out pretty fast. I found an LED bulb that is MUCH brighter and works with the 18vAC the bike sends to the headlight. Still testing the LED to be sure it lasts more than a few months. Will ask treatland to maybe source the LED bulb once I work out a few things. Not sure I can post links but I'll try... Here is a link to get the 3d file for free. www.thingiverse.com/thing:5413595Sadly, HONDA is sending cease and desist letters to any file that has HONDA in the name. If they strike it, I will remove HONDA from the file name and re-post with only MB5 headlight. |

that looks like the treatland one.
if so, the mount is different... it had two tabs on the side to mount.
my mb5 (usa version) has tabs top and bottom.
if you try to mount directly the light is 90 degrees off and the high/low goes right and left.
the ring i made fixes that.
if you know anybody with a 3d printer you can get the file for free.
the print is easy and cheap... only a few pennies in plastic.
i have seen some 'original' lights from india that were the side mount. i am guessing the india mb's used that headlight (no right/left adjustment).
I can only speak for the usa version. |
