    Hi everyone. I picked up a 90 vfr 750 almost a year go for small money. I've had lots of problems with it and no time to sort some of them due to other projects but I'm gonna have a stab at it again over the next few months!
    I've already fitted a new shock, motad headers, a new exhaust can and new front pads.
    Now one side of my headlight has a broken reflector so I can't take it to work because I blind everyone on the way home at night. I can't find a replacement here in Ireland but there is a used one on ebay in the US. Would the US headlight be different due to them driving on the right? My bike has a speedo in kph even though its a 90 so it must be an import anyway.
    Thanks for any replies!

    The headlights are not the same. In countries driving on the right side, the dimmed beam would blind everyone if driving on the left side, as in Ireland.

    Light pattern in US.

    £22 for postage. It's a bit steep but will have to do. Breakers always seem to use the most expensive couriers :mad:
