 Hey Rob,
Sorry to hear about yor accident. I bought a lense form rockauto.com a year ago for less than $30. I can seem to find the part on their web site now but you might e-mail them.

Found a new, less expensive source from BrianK on Boxerworks:
http://www.2kracing.com/Product/4426.html
$12.99!
I will give you a critique of this one, first! ;)

Well, enticed by the price, I ordered one of these and it arrived today.  

But I no longer need it, as trolle generously offered to sell me a complete headlight he has sitting on the shelf!  Since my chrome ring did get bent a bit, this will be a good way to go.


So let me know if you want the cheap reflector unit.  $10 + ship

And I will test fit it with my headlight shell out in the garage to ensure compatibility.

SOLD! If you'll confirm it will fit the OEM R65 headlight ring and shell. Lemme know as I'd like to get rid of the "foggy" headlamp glass on the '81. Yes, I've tried cleaning mine...  :P

PM me with ship $ details.
