K75C Headlamp / Headlight Size
« on: January 18, 2016, 03:46:23 PM »
Anybody know if the K75C fairing and headlight ring will accept regular 7" round headlights in a 7" headlight bucket (probably about 8" wide)?

The lens (part #3 on your diagram) on my K75C has a diameter of (nearly) 7.5 inches, not the 7" you ask about. I think they used the K100 headlamp on the C but there seem to be variants. I would need to remove the cowling around the light to measure the bracket. It's -10C in the garage.

Your post's illustration is of a K75Standard headlight assembly, Tim, like the one on my bike. The face of the lens is maybe  ~7.25" diameter. I'll take measurements tomorrow if I wake up.

Thanks for catching that! I've fixed the original post with accurate illustrations.
