Dead easy to fit, goes straight in, just need to remover about 2mm if that from the corners of the rim that goes round the headlight glass.

And yes as they come in pairs I will be putting the other one up in the for sale section ;)

Well looks like there's plenty of choice of you want to change/upgrade the headlight on your kat/ET ;)

So you have MR2, Jeep, Bedford Rascal, Suzuki Supercarry, and I bet there is more xD

 

Put this clear lease one on my ET project, because I'd put the other one on my GS1000 xD much better viability at night.

Will this also fit the ES?

 

I don't know, I've never compared the two.

have you any pics and sizes of the ES headlight ?

I *think* ET, ES, Katana and pop up katana all use the same 7"x5" standard headlight, although ES has a funny slopey front on it.

It's not the same part no, and the ES the glass is at an angle, thin on top and fat at the bottom. But the dimensions may be the same. Have to messure

Wraith did you fit the led's as the sidelight on it's own was not any good ?, and have you ridden in the night to see how much difference from the original headlamp ?.

The LED's under the fairing i put on when I had the standard headlight on and had a tinted cover over it.

I not ridden the bike at night yet, I think @Ash had something similar in his kat? (A year or two ago)

On my gs1000 and the gsx1157et (pic above) I've used a clear lease mr2, with a Philip's H4 55-60w bulb in it and for night riding (only used the gs) it's brill.

I used a Raybrig for a RX7/MX5/MR2/Hilux, was miles better than the stocker (Using the same bulb)

Used a Raybrig as well in my Kat:
