Shoei replacement parts

#1 Unread post by MrGromit »

I have an 1980 CB750F which I bought second-hand. It has an after-market faring (I think it's aftermarket, anyway) with tons of stuff made by Shoei, such as the windshield and the lights.

The bike has been dropped and one of the lights broke off at the stem. I'm trying to find a replacement for it but the stem is 5/8" long and the closest I can find is 3/4" long; and then the base probably won't match up anyway. The rubber part that covers the stem goes down at an angle and matches up with the faring at a compound angle, so I don't think I can grab just any light kit and be good to go.

Looking closely at it I saw that the lights were made by Shoei so I hit their site and it appears they only deal in helmets now. I did several searches for "Shoei light" and such and cannot find anything helpful at all.

Any suggestions? Anyone know of a dealer that would have such odd and old stock?

TIA

The faring is an aftermarket deal. They stoped making them a wile ago. I work at an salvage yard and rarely see those set ups with good turnsignals. Im not 100% positive, but try the Honda CMX Rebel stems for that if not you will probably have to modify or do some flush mount styles.
