Vintage Russian headlamps.

[Justinas]

Hi guys,
here are few headlamps for swaps. They are Russian made and looks really cool on cafe racers or bobbers.

The first one includes speedo, reflector, horn... Well, it's a full set. Don't know if the horn really works, but it looks really clean, so I guess there's no problem there. Chrome is quite all right too. Well, I think you can see everything in the photos.

The second one is not complete. It lacks horn and reflector. The glass has some scratches and chrome isn't at its best. But it does look cool too on a bike. Also, together with the speedo.

Both of them are in Lithuania (Europe). No problem sending them around the world, but I would prefer Europe swaps, because of the shipping costs.

Parts of Old Honda's are pain in the ass here, so would love to swap one of these to a Honda CB 250/400/450/500 front brake caliper (with a bleeding nipple and perhaps usable set of brake shoes :]) and a thrust washer.
Parts needed:

Brake caliper:

Thrust washer:
(inside diameter 22mm, thickness - 1mm)

Shipping to most of the Europe takes no more than two weeks. I'm not sure about rest of the world, but would give like a month or so.
PM me if you need any more pictures of any particular place ;]

Sorry, for now only for swaps, as I'm pretty desperate to get the bike running for April :/
I may come up with some more in near future and if I do, will post them here.

Man I really want that light! Maybe I can find you the parts you need then I can trade...

I hope you get around to this after you're done, because I have nothing to swap for your bike :'(

This could be a nice little earner for you Justinas. Bit of pocket money for the project

Good luck with it. I'm sure someone will snap these up.

cheers

I promise I get some for sale :] Just now those are the parts I really need to finish the project. It just freakin insane to see snow disapearing from the streets and knowing you wont be on the road when it's all gone. It's a horror movie scenario :]

 

[NoobZooki]

Good luck with finding the parts you need. I have no parts to swap

I really want that headlight though! Let us know when you have some for sale.

 

[Bobbed_out]

Its not looking like anyone has the parts you need...you should just sell the lights and take the cash and find what you need yourself. If you decide to sell them I call dibs on the first complete headlight! Let me know thanks

Hey Justinas, look what I found for you:

Of course it didn't look like this when I found it


The nipple is a little manky, but clean, the threads are good, and the nut isn't rounded. Unfortunately the pads seem to have worn at an angle, so not sure how they'll go??


I've cleaned and re-plated the bolts/spring etc. because I've just picked up a zinc plating kit. Lucky you


Anyway, let me know if this is any good for the swap-deal you're proposing? I'd love one of those lights, but I'm not sure if the thrust-washer is part of the deal??


PM me for more info if you want?


cheers
ian

 

[cb 400 t]

those headlights are tits i also want one pm me if you will sell thanks

 

[bikeboy]

Hey Justinas-how'd you go on ebay? Did you win, or can we talk swappsies

cheers
ian

 

[bikeboy]

your caliper is on it's way my friend. Hope it doesn't take too long.

cheers

And here comes one more!

This time a complete one and a bigger one. It does not have an integrated horn, but has same shaped ring and etc.

The bad thing about this one, that it's weight is over 2kg, which triples the shipping cost to Australia or USA up to 65$ USD :/
I can sell it, or I can swap it to some cool cafe bike accesorie. Just for now don't know to what, but I hope to find out after few days of assembeling process. But if you have something cool to offer for my cb250g project, just write me a PM :]

P.S. The silver one in the first post is also still on a market and doesn't weight that much and shipping isn't that pricey. So if anyone is interested, just send me a PM.

And my thank for bikeboy for the first swap!

 

[bikeboy]

Hey Justinas, I just found a "before" pic of the caliper I sent you

I think it cleaned up well in the end.


Hope it arrives soon for you.


cheers, and thanks again.

Justinas, I want the bigger one. or the rest of them. I make billet rearsets, and other aluminum goodies for cafe racers. http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=22119.150
Let me kow!!!

Thanks, Kris

 

[bikeboy]

Hey Justinas, how spooky is this? I just finished reading your message about receiving the caliper, and the postie rocks up with the headlight!


It's awesome! I love it.


thanks mate

One more...

Like this:

Forgot to make some better pictures when assembled, but will do if anyone asks.

And a size comparison of this one and the one before. As one can see, the previous one is quite a little bit bigger. As said, it's also in full set.

Will sell if anyone asks (pay pal), but please send price offer to PM, as I assemble them from parts bought separately and actually have very little idea of how much such things are worth. Just please have in mind freakin huge shipping costs, which varies from 30 to 65 USD when shipped to USA or Australia. Much cheaper in Europe :]

Oh, and the silver one looks like this on a bike:

 

[Durgam_K]

I want as many as possible!!!! Sweet

 

[Justinas]

Finally better pictures.

Silver one.
Actually all the parts on these are interchangeable so I can make something similar to the sand colored one from parts in this silver one and some other stuff laying around.

oh yeah... it does have an ignition key... This one is really nice. Bezel has some scratches, but it looks just awesome on bike. Bullet style... :]

big, big, big...

These were laying around for a very long time all around my country, so I cannot assure that speedos and other parts works perfectly well.

For now I'm looking for controls for 7/8 handlebars. Brake fluid reservoir is not a must, I do have one separately.

Clubmans or Clip-on handlebars (33mm)

I do not need these items in perfect looks, I only need them to work ok.

 

[NoobZooki]

I have clubman handlebars. Wanna trade for one of those awesome headlight?

If so, I want the silver headlight .
