1985 XT600 Headlight, other options
Hello, I have a 1985 XT600 Tenere, does anybody know what other models Yamaha used the headlight on? Want to keep the bike standard looking but need a R/H drive headlight. Everything on ebay seems to be L/H ?
Thanks

I think (pause) the TZR250 & DT125 will fit (the glass bit) but check with your local dealer, what model XT is it?
The speedo can be had on ebay USA (MPH) if you find a clean one.

Well spotted Mezo ?!? The frame number punched into the headstock does indeed start with "X 55W-......X" I bought it locally about 10 months ago, £600 with 34000 Km on the clock

Well your a lucky bugger then, now i can see a pic its 100% a 55W, easy way to spot them is the longer seat (34L is stubby) the front disk protector and if you notice the front axle is higher up the fork than the 34L, the 55W had revised suspension over the 34L, it was the in between bike before the 1VJ was launched.
Id say the 55W is the best of the best of Tenere, the fact it was only produced for one year makes them that much more rare & collectable.
And you didn't even know you owned one eh.
Mezo.

I agree whit Mezo the 34L and 55W are best Tenere ever build.
