headlight cracked

slob · Guru

Mines was cracked when I got the bike. Made a lens out off plexiglas and siliconed it on with clear silicon. Can't see it cracking for a while!

eG x LoGiKzZ · Guru

not cracked on my RE and ive done 4000 miles so far, sure somethings not wrong with the headlight mount twisting it or something? i dno lol

Calum122 · Guru

Lol. Mine got smashed when it got nicked! Bastards!

I used perspex on it for about 6 months. Then i needed to get it mot'd lol. Got a feeling it wouldn't have passed lol.

Calum122 · Guru

If its a small crack see what auto glass offer. Those head lights are rare and expensive!

slob · Guru

I got through the MOT with mines callum, but I think it's cause the place I go to are not a bunch of nob heads, that are often at main dealers purely looking for trade. £100 to get a new one from Yamaha as they don't do the lens seperate. Mines as got A nice lens shape to it where the bulb has heated it up!

Calum122 · Guru

Yeah. I've been using this place for years and they're pretty sound.

At the end of the day they know there is no business from me. I rock up on a tricked out DT that i've built myself. I'm hardly going to ask them to fix the MOT failures lol.

Do it myself thank you very much. All you've managed to accomplish is a 15 minute slot that you have to put me in at no cost.

Thanks for all your advice ppl , Ive had the bike 7 yrs now n in all that time its broke twice in the last year , i know im not over tightenin it as its only held in place by 2 posi screw bolts so not really and its a vertical crack on both ! might just be able to see them in pic but im no photographer lol .
As to rarity i only just got the last one in time for previous MOT , think it was from a guy on ere near worksop not Norfe tho !
Think i paid £30 for it as the guy had bought it by mistake if i remember rightly A J Sutton wanted £90ish for a new one n that aint happenin !
Looks like im gonna be visitin the FOR SALE thread frequently ... DAVE

Calum122 · Guru

Or get an aftermarket one. That's the other option!

DT200R MACCA · BANNED

dosent the wr 426 and the wr250 share the same head light

hairdoo · Guru

now that would be handy if it did ! does anyone know for sure if they are the same ?

Energized · DTR Legend

DAVEY I'VE GOT A HEADLIGHT BUD JUST READ YOUR THREAD!

Energized · DTR Legend

If the DTR headlight fits your DTX then i've got one mate. I can get pics if you need. I'd think they'd be the same fit? Be silly if they wearn't...

eG x LoGiKzZ · Guru

nordt should know if the headlights are the same

slob · Guru

Im sure the DTR is massive compared to the X and RE as I found out when I bought a couple of ebay years ago then plexi glassed it.

hairdoo · Guru

thanks energized but im sure theyre different in size n fitting mine is held to the brackets thru the fairing n thats it no beam adjusters or anything !!

the lens on my dtx measures 135mm horizontally n vertically its 95mm

hairdoo · Guru

missed out on headlight shame ! can anyone tell me more abt these polisport lights n how they fit /wired etc cheers Doo

MDK · DTR Legend

like most none standard there is only two bulbs so realy easy to wire up some times you may need to cut the old wires or plugs but easy done . maybe harder if you go for something with led.s

dtr jim · DTR Respected Member

Can either use the bracket supplied or use the rubber straps supplied , you will want to change the bulb as the ones that come with are are useless

hairdoo · Guru

many thanks to all of your help guess i gotta get one as dtx headlights are rare as hens teeth :)
My only reservation is avin to cut o/e wiring to fit it , can get all connectors /wire from my factory so that at least aint a problem !!

MDK · DTR Legend

yeah not many wires and you could either make up some connections or just snip and save the ends not hard to rewire them back in at a later day .
