No worries Ben. I suspected you had the wrong end of the stick somehow, it helped clear up any ambiguity about how the rings work.
It also prompted some very helpful info from Darren... Thanks Darren, good to know the rings will fit Carbon rims okay.

Yes that lamp, if not the exact shell design, was fitted to lots of bikes including beemer K100, Darmas and Pantahs.
There's a guy selling the lamps in the US and the fitment list he gives is very impressive. It follows that my rings will fit all those bikes too.

Thanks for the plug Jez, glad you're still pleased with your kit.
Ironically the reflectors and lenses of the (g)olden days were actually quite good. It was the bulb technology and current available, that let them down. Anything with a 12V alternator and a Cibie conversion was probably better than a Bosch equipped Monster.

No worries Albie, no danger of running out just yet. I suspect supply will outstrip demand!
Hope to sell a few more though, as I have a Commando in need...
