Can anyone remember the exact model BMW that uses the same headlight glass as the Monster?

Thanks

Monster headlamp glass: BMW R100S, part no. 63121358147. Bosch part numbers for Monster headlight glass & reflector (not available separately from Ducati) are 1305604904 (Glass) and 1305304903 (Reflector) They are not cheap (about Â£45 and Â£60 respectively) but less than a complete unit.

I replaced my lens a couple of weeks ago. Purchased from MOTO-Bins Ltd Part Number 80200 H/Light Lens (including rubber seal) Large BMW twins 1974 Â£19 plus Â£1.65 carriage, plus VAT 3.61 Total Paid Â£24.26. The lens , the markins etc, etc are exactly the same as the one that came off the bike.

Useful link that Nik!

Alsorts of cheaper stuff on there.

If the glass fits does that mean the collar that holds it does too? Or is the screw thread different? My collar is all rusty and a BMW replacement may come in cheaper than the double headlights...

I would think the rim would be the same - best thing to do is find a BMW and have a lookee see!

Oh, and after the rock last weekend, I need another new headlight glass....... poxy council tar and chipping the roads...

I have a 98 M600 dark, and on the lovely roads here Cork, Ireland it was inevitable that a rock would punch a nice hole in my headlamp. However thanks to the sage advice from this forum I was able to save 282.47euro, the cost of replacing the entire headlamp unit, since for some unknown reason Ducati won't sell those parts separately. Moto-Bins provided the exact replacement Bosch headlamp glass, including the seal for 40euro/28sterling including shipping to IRL. I'm absolutely delighted!

That saving's nearly enough for a new set of cans... :burnout:

A sentence with the words 'wallets' and 'moths' in it springs to mind after reading this thread
