2000-ish V11 headlamp bucket

[Pressureangle]

My headlight bucket has had a hole cut in the back of it, perhaps for an LED then covered by a bottle cap and glue. One of the mounting threads is stripped requiring a nut. 
Anybody have a usable bucket laying around? This one will work but I don't have to like it.

Same Bosch unit as contemporary Ducati Monster if I am not mistaken.

Found some nice sized plugs, theads are...workable, so meh

I may have one available, will know in a few days.   I'm replacing my Scura stock headlight with the broken refractor that I've tried gluing several times but it keeps breaking and rattling around inside the headlight.  I can't find this a replacement part anywhere unless someone else has some good luck sourcing one?

I've purchased an LEDPERF headlight (Style 4 in Black), got it all wired in - wow, what a difference from the stock dim unit with some additional features, but I need a new headlight bucket to secure the headlight unlike the stock mounting, so I've ordered one from them as well.  Once I get all of the wiring transferred over, my stock one may be available for you.

 

Now I've also reminded myself that I need to figure out why the flasher for high beams doesn't work, while the push button for high beams works just fine.  Maybe a fuse or a relay I need to replace for the high beam flasher?

I had a look at the wiring diagrams in this manual, both for the earlier and later models.

Going by that, I'd say it has to be the flasher switch. Look at this "extract" from the diagram

The wire beside which I put a red line brings 12V into the switch block from the lighting relay. If the wiring diagram is true to the "real world" the volts are available to the flasher switch before the high beam switch. After the switch block, the "BI" wire goes off directly to the high beam filament of the headlight.

Therefore, if the high beams can be switched on at all, the only explanation that the flasher (pass) switch doesn't work is that the switch itself is faulty.

I would open the switch block and investigate.

Vielen Dank...that will be the plan next...maybe I'll get lucky and clean the contact and it will work again!

I hope you do. Don't neglect to look closely at all the solder joints and so on in there.

Are the 2002 Scura (and maybe the Tenni) headlamp buckets metal like the early Sports or had they changed to the plastic type used on the LeMans and others?

Docc...it's a hardened black plastic shell, with a metal ring and round rubber ring at the front held in place by a single screw.  The bucket has the wiring harness molded into it, so that will be my challenge as I'll have to transfer that, or get a converter that then marries up to the 4 prong on the bike.  I think I can make it work, but may require some assembly.  At the moment, I have it all wired up using the original bucket, to test all of the lights and features and it's stunningly good (in the garage at least!).  The new light also has semi circular orange LED blinkers in the headlamp...nice feature!

Gotcha. So, not a candidate for @Pressureangle's replacement of the early steel bucket. I wonder if later (2003-2004) "Sports" with fork mounted headlamp/instruments use the steel bucket of if all V11 changed to the plastic unit starting 2002 . . .

Well, a quick couple of blasts of DeOxit into the switch and for good measure on all 5 of the relays, and voila, the high beam flasher switch is working again!  Much cheaper than buying a whole new switching unit!

No longer need a bucket, a nice silicone plug sorted it.
