Washed 3 years worth of flies off yesterday, was surprised it started afterwards as I thought the flies were oem fitment.
Took it for a good blast to dry it off, fun!

Swapped out the blown Dip lamp (HID) for a LED (of the correct focal length).

Swapped out the blown Dip lamp (HID) for a LED (of the correct focal length).
Pray tell me more about the LED. I could do with a bit more light output.
I removed my dip HID when they became illegal, and tried a LED. It was utter cr*p with light everywhere but on the road. The HID ballast and wiring is still on the bike if I ever felt like breaking some rules between MOTs.
I could offer my spare HID if you wanted to stay outside the rules, and it fitted your kit.

LED is a C6 H3 - you need to make your own 8mm packer so that is retained by the original lamp clip,also measure and adjust the metal base ring to the correct distance (near end of LED to metal base).

Thank you, Favs. That looks like the item I have.
I used a packer between the LED's collar and the spring clamp, but the adjustment you mention is new to me. There was no info in the box about focussing.

I have HID lights and have passed MOT.
So looked at MOT regulations and there is a change From 22 March 2021, we’re changing these rules so that not all motorcycles and vehicles will fail the MOT test if their halogen headlamp units have been converted to be used with HID or LED bulbs.
Class 1 and 2 motorcycles must not be failed for the defect ‘Light source and lamp not compatible’.
Headlamps must comply with all other requirements of the test and headlamp aim.
So I will continue with excellent light from HID safe knowing I am not breaking law!
