34L XT600 tail light wanted

Hi all

If anybody has a tail (rear light) lurking around in their garage for a 1983 XT600 34L I'd gladly buy it off them. I am 99.9% sure the 43F version and the 55W version from 84 and 85 respectively are the same unit as well.

It looks like this.........



thanks in anticipation (and of course I can do paypal/bank transfer/ etc)

cheers

Dick

Hi Dick,

I think I may have the light you are looking for. I will take a look this weekend in the garage and see if its still there? I also have quite a few other bits n pieces you might be interested in?

Cheers Sam.

I think they are the same as some other Yamaha models of similar age.
Check Ebay.

Hi Dick,

Had a look in the garage tonight and I do have the same light unit although the lens is missing if this is of use to you drop me a line.

Cheers Sam.

cheers Tom but my 34L is probably one of the very few left in the country that is nearly standard - proper fornt mudguard, mirrors and handguards, matching frame and engine numbers and all that
it's not concourse ( :confused1: ) condition but pretty good so I would like to get it the right tail light if poss - there must be one in the world somewhere

actually there is one on Ebay.de but the photos aren't very promising and it costs around 50quid including postage

hopefully one will turn up somewhere

Hi Dick if you still need a light I am sure I got one from a 43F it should be the same. I will try and find it and check the condition.

Hi Richard,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I only just got the light removed last Sunday and only just back home again last night.

Please send your address to my email add and will stick it in a jiffy bag for you. You can send me a cheque when you recieve the light.

Once again sorry for the delay.

Regards Sam Davidson.
