Description
I had a problem finding a replacement headlight for the Honda MB-5 scooter/motorcycle.
Treatland.tv has a headlight that mostly fits but the mounts are 90 degrees off and the light is a little bigger. I made this to let you mount the treatland light in the correct orientation and even adjust right and left using the original chrome trim ring.
NO MODIFICATION NEEDED to the chrome ring, headlight bucket or any of the stock parts !!
When done, looks stock.
You only need to buy two M8 x about 12mm COUNTER SUNK screws (Ace hardware near me actually had these) and two M5 nuts. Other than that you reuse the original screws.
The new light is a little bigger and prevents using the Right/Left adjustment screw as the hole is blocked by the new, bigger light. You can still pivot the headlight right and left and it stays in place well with only friction.
NOTE; after you install the new headlight, straighten the top tab. You only need to bend it to get the bigger light past the tabs.
The adapter is reversible top to bottom, right to left and front to back.
Working on an LED bulb mod now and once i am sure the bulb will last, I will post that next.
Looking at other scooter headlights, I am GUESSING this would work on most older scooters with a 5.25 inch headlight to adapt the new headlight.
