Does anyone know where I can buy the three Idiot lights on the headlight on my 750s, 1973. I did see some on Ebay a while back, but I cant find any now.

Thanks in advance Gum

Gum - try this.

I know that Damien at Bevelrubber also had some for a while but it looks like he's out of stock.

Good luck.
Steve.

Are they the same as those fitted to the 860GT?

Gum,

To follow up on Steve's suggestion, I spoke with Damien Birch a couple of weeks ago about idiot lights, and he was in the process of completing a batch that can utilise either LED;s or globes so that you can replace just the LED/globe rather than buy a whole new unit. Makes sense to me, so I will be getting some of those once completed, They may already be done, not sure.

Cheers
Rick

Bruce,

I always assumed that they were. But I've just checked my 750 GT/Sport and 860 GT parts manuals and, at the risk of being accused of pedantry and having way too much time on my hands, this is what I found:

Green indicator (lights on): same part number for all 3 models, 0795.38.396.

White indicator (key on): 0795.38.355 (750 GT), 0796.38.355 (750 Sport), 960.38.356 (860 GT) - all different. Different holders for the festoon globes on the 750 GT/Sport, the GT having additional wires on the mount which run to the other two lights. The 860 doesn't use a festoon globe.

Red indicator (high beam): 0795.38.356 (750 GT & Sport), 0960.38.355 (860 GT - the holder uses a festoon globe).

The '75-'76 750 SS - 900 SS have exactly the same part numbers as the 750 GT.



I reckon that you couldn't tell the difference if the lens colours were correct and you managed to connect the different holders. (However, Kev - machten - has drawn attention to the existence of slightly different bezel profiles in his post at http://www.bevelheaven.com/~BB/phpBB2/v ... c&start=15 ).

I bought some of those lights from Classic Italian Bikes and found that the chrome chips off very easily. The other thing is that they are a sealed unit, the led inside is not easily serviceable.

Steve,

Nah. That's just dealing with the important things in life.

White indicator (key on): 0795.38.355 (750 GT), 0796.38.355 (750 Sport), 960.38.356 (860 GT) - all different. Different holders for the festoon globes on the 750 GT/Sport, the GT having additional wires on the mount which run to the other two lights. The 860 doesn't use a festoon globe.

Thanks. That explains a few things to me about the different bits. As does this:

The '75-'76 750 SS - 900 SS have exactly the same part numbers as the 750 GT.

I'd wondered if the different bezel profiles were a squarecase/roundcase thing. Obviously not - just different bits/suppliers at different times by the sound of things.

The reason I ask is that I have three complete units (red, green and yellow bezels, single spade terminal on the bottom) and two top portions left over from my 860GT.
