My 1996 M900 has scratches on the chrome headlight trim from where someone threw it down the road in the dim and distant past, I’ve been looking out for a replacement but only ever seen complete headlamp units for sale at ridiculous prices, does anyone know if this headlight was used by other manufacturers?, removing the word “Ducati” from any item for sale usually results in a 50% price reduction!
Just had a look at a few on eBay MP, certainly look similar, the bowl is different but the bezel does look the same, hmmm, should I risk it!
im not seeing alot of damage in ya pic...perhaps its just the pic, but have you looked into having it repaired?
It’s on the side you can’t see Chizel, I haven’t got a photo of that side, it’s dented and scratched all the way through the chrome so a repair would be too costly.
I may have a spare in my garage but can’t confirm until Saturday afternoon as I’m not at home until then.
I guess no longer available new? moving into chicken chompers area going by last time I tried to get one s/hand.
Hi PB, I just read the blurb in his ad, it says the rim is dented and scuffed so no good, thanks for looking though!
okeys Mark , surprising in the hands of a sheety and industrial polisher that could be minter, just saying.
Whilst you’ve got it apart, it’s worth separating the glass lens from the reflector and polishing off the milky white deposits that build up on them. And take several photo’s of the retaining clips holding the unit into the rim. It looks really obvious how they fit up until the moment you pick one up and try to fit it, then it’s immediately back to front and upside down!
Special thanks here to DucatiScud who not only wouldn’t take anything for the surround but asked only that I contribute to a charity (I chose Air Ambulance) but also detoured his ride out to deliver the part, that’s what makes this forum great at times, now fitted, thanks again DS.
incredibly kind @DucatiScud , try and find one in good condition on EBay, let alone free.. what a refreshing contrast this place can be.
