See the picture of the headlight with measurement. Janusz ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- does anyone have this light on there bike,if so are you happy with it???you can e mail me if you dont want to post...thank you, Juan ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Hi Juan, Ancillary equipment (headlights, magnetos, dynamos, carbs etc.) was sourced from proprietary suppliers by motorcycle manufacturers and Henderson was not an exemption I guess and was probably using Delco Remy headlights. I doubt there was ever Henderson headlight in any manufacturer catalogue. But there was “bullet headlight” used by Indian, which closely resembles the bullet headlight used by Henderson on KJ model – so conclusion is obvious. The Czech supplier replica is very well made and to my opinion could be used on KJ. The lamp diameter is 150 mm and distance between centres of fitting holes is 125 mm. Will send you a photo with inch scale. Anybody can comment on that? To nail the subject I attach a photo of other items of the same supplier, marketed for Indian, but can be used for Excelsior and Henderson, because they are replicas of Corbin products. Hopefully I helped and haven’t created additional confusion. Al critical opinions are welcomed. Best regards Janusz ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- what I would like to know is,is the headlight that Janusz is showing the correct re pop for the 1929 Henderson K J or just close??? for around 350.00 seams like a good deal if it's the same...Thank you Juan ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- item nr 102 – bullet lamp is our reproduction headlamp for Indians in years 1928-30... is this correct for 29 k j Henderson???Juan...reno says it is 28-30 Indian ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Hi, Attached is photo and contact details of Czech supplier I used to source parts for my KJ. Let me know if you need more photos. www.reno.indianmoto.cz renoindian@gmail.com Cheers Janusz ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I need a headlight for a 1929 kj . does any body have one for sale repro or original or can anybody direct me to a good quality reproduction to buy. |
