Rectangular headlamp questions

Post by Daddy Dom »

While recommissioning my K1 Sport I'm considering swapping the after-market round headlamp for the rectangular type it had when new.
I've seen a few used ones online but does anybody know:

1. Are the ones fitted to our off-roaders the same unit? (Could I also consider a Kanguro unit?)
2. Are they RHD-LHD specific or can the dipping side be adjusted with the screws I've seen around the rim? My present one is a UK/NZ LH dip.

Sing out if you have a nice one to sell, please.
Cheers,
Dom

The shell is a cev 40687 so if you search for that you’ll find them listed for other bikes of the era and so widen your search from just Morini.

I can’t remember the headlamp glass part number off the top of my head but I’ll dig it out.

I’m not aware of there ever being a version with a dip for us who drive on the left. It’s not an excessively kicked beam so i don’t for example get flashed by drivers coming the other way at night.

It’s a different headlamp to that on my kanguro x0. It could be the same or similar to an x2 or x3 headlamp I suppose but I wouldn’t say for sure without a side by side comparison.
