Recommended Posts

Hello everyone 

happy new year!!!

I am looking for a head light to use on my 04 lemans but I cannot find it anywhere.

MG cycle can order it for about 200 bucks and 3/4 week eta.

does anyone has one that will work and willing to sell?

any alternative that will fit as the original?

 Thank you so much for your help

$200 bucks sound cheap for a new headlight. I'd grab it at that price.

Oh. That is a rather big flaw as headlights go. Since they are now rare Italian works of art, I suppose that 2 bills is not all that bad.

It’s on special order at MG cycle. It doesn’t mean they will have it for sure .

chances are it might not be available anymore. Only after placing the order, they will find out …..

Pretty common these days for Guzzi's of this vintage. Even cycle parts like Brembo callipers are advertised on websites and I know they haven't been available from suppliers for years. If you get a refund in full without transactional losses it's ok but I've been nailed with losses on the refund that's why I ask them to confirm with their suppliers that they have stock before I order and pay.

The V11 is now getting to the point spares wise where it's not really the bike to put a lot of miles on anymore. New part supplies have dried up and SH parts can be risky to buy and are getting expensive.

Arveno…Possibly try Stein Dinse as well…they have a replacement for my 2002Scura so they may have something for your 2004 Lemans…always worth giving them a call…

Good luck!!

I thought I heard something about Ducati Monsters using the same headlight some time ago.....

Not 100% sure though.

Maybe check that out?

Cheers

If I recall correctly, the Monster headlight is a match for the early Sport steel Bosch unit . . .
