    Ok picked my bike up, the old owner did point out the headlights both have cracks, he said there is a recall on the lights, anyone know anything about this?

    It's a well known fault on early models.

    I don't know if it was a recall but cracked lenses were replaced under warranty.They normally just replace both headlights as one unit.

    Might be worth having a word with your local dealer but if it's out of warranty or you didn't buy it from him you might not get very far :frown:

    They do come up on e bay every now and then.

    When I said early models I meant the one's with the new shape headlights.

    Sorry for any confusion

    Ok didn't thinked I liked the new lights so bought a set of the old chrome ones, now I am not so sure a specially as the bike is white and black, also one seams to put up more than the other and at the moment looks like the old style are wired differently, high beam looks like low beam?

    My mate had his done just last year, it can't be to late if it's a recall.
