Due to the complete lack of 2nd hand genuine headlights im considering one of these chinese copies http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Honda-RVF ... 3cbfcd79f9
Anyone had one of these and would care to comment on them good or bad?

It's not just you who spotted those then? Could be worth a punt, but I'd be worried about the longevity....

Yeah i can just see them being made of that really thin plastic that cracks with the slightest tap of a screwdriver, its not looking like i have a option though as genuine ones are very thin on the ground

Chinese headlights saw the funny side of that... dont you mean cats eyes or are they more squinty

I might have some spare headlights for you, but you will have to wait for a couple months. I just packed them up for the trip from Italy to the USA. I'll dig them out when I get to New Mexico.

RVF headlights? if so yeah i'll wait ive got me Zed to ride now so the RVF can wait until parts become available.

I bought chinese headlights for my R6 - the first set arrived broken and shortly afterwards a replacement set arrived. They weren't actually that bad considering they were much cheaper than a broken set of factory ones.

I know it's not the same but I've used Chinese rear lights as replacements for Volkswagen rear lights and you can't tell the difference once fitted.

Anyway I have some headlight protectors if you need them. :-)

Fuck! Sorry DM. I am retarded. I have NC30 headlights.
