slowkitty Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hiya .. I am wondering if a Ducati monster's headlight can fit on a Guzzi V11 Sports? Kinda hard and expensive to get Guzzi parts where I am, but plenty of old monsters. Strangely, I heard that Ducati and BMW share the same round headlight!

Guest bshpilot Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 some parts are interchangable...i suspect much would depend on the YEAR(s) some items (like turn signals, in particular) are exchangable w/ some BUELL year(s) as well. We happen to own an M750, ill give some closer inspection to its light vs. my v11 but itll be a couple of days before i can look things over & possibly try to swap one w/ the other. again at best all i can offer is an EXACT comparison between two years & this might not be helpful (dont know what year v11 you have) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 The V11 Sport headlight is a Bosch one and can also be found at your BMW dealer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 The answer is yes- both have a 7 inch Bosch unit. I have a BMW R850R light on my naked Rosso Corsa which is also the same size. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy I think the 2002 Scura has a bigger than 7" Bosch unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve G. Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I found that the Bosch headlight bucket/headlight/reflector unit is the same part # for 1999-2004 V11 Sport as it is for 1973-1982 Laverda triples. Ciao, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Field Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 The Scura light, at least all I've seen, is smaller than the V11 Sport's. It is like that of the LeMans and Ballabio/Cafe Sport/Coppa. That's why it has that thick rubber gasket where it interfaces with the fairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Greg So if one wanted to do one of these 7inch HID lights that RacerX put on his Jackal, a Scura bucket would do the trick. Would the Scura Bucket fit the brackets that hold on the V11S bucket? I really don't have money for this, but it would be nice to know if they are interchangeable. If I went with HID, I might go with as big a bucket as I could find to hide the HID's coil and igniter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Would the Scura Bucket fit the brackets that hold on the V11S bucket? No, I went from the smaller headlight to a bigger and the brackets aren't interchangeble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 If you wanted to fit the larger headlight to a Scura, you could do so if you bought the brackets from a V11 Sport. Not cheap new though- about £70 each. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowkitty Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 So the conclusions are: A. Scura's lights are smaller than the V11 Sports B. Ducati Monster's lights are the same size as V11 Sports Correct? Cheers Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lens, aka the glass in front of the reflector? The whole unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I have just bought this Ducati Monster carbon flyscreen for my V11. Is brand new and I got it half price. Will hopefully fit! Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
