Hi to you all. I have a simple question, and, although it may seem obvious I want to make sure I don't get it wrong. "What is the size of the standard headlamp on the R3"? I have measured them and they are 5 3/4". I have searched google but these days there is so much crap to plough through its a nightmare to get the right answer. I just cant afford to get it wrong and buy the wrong size. So can someone who knows let me know if 5 3/4" is the right size. I am after both headlamps as the glass is shot on both mine. the metal housing/body is good as are the chrome clamps, its the glass and inner that I need. Thanks for your help.
 
Hi

A lot of the aftermarket LED units have not got the marker lights built in, this may not be a problem where you are, here in the UK the bike will not / should not pass the annual MOT (ministry of transport) test.

Pretty darn anal if just THAT will kibosh your MOT!
What is their safety rational for this?
Just hang the original marker light in there?
 
Rational - no idea, the MOT man I see is a helpful man, but blatant things like light missing that should be there is taking the piss out of his leniency, so I got the ones with marker lights, I like a simple life :)

Hang the old ones in there - EWWWWWWWWWWWWW, I am not trying to create a "rat" bike, that would just look so cheep.

I don't remember who has, or which brand, but someone has LEDs that the halo connects to the marker light wires. Maybe that would pass inspection
