GT550 H4 Headlight

Post by jaycee69 »

I bought my gt550 a while ago and started restoring it. the question i have is what is the stock diameter of a gt550 light? my bike came with a non sealed beam that says "bosch 1 305 603 012 H4" ive tried looking around for the diameter and any info on it, but no avail.
i also tried measuring but couldnt get an accurate reading. please help. is anyone else using a non sealed headlight?

The GT550 & GT750 use the same headlight.

Suzsmokeyallan has a sticky topic with the current part numbers to convert to an H4 headlight. See:

7". Just go to the auto parts store and get a standard 7" H-4 halogen headlight. That's what I did on my GT750. Fit like dream and it is a sealed beam unit. There has been some discussion on here about the glass not having the correct angular throw for a motorcycle, but I saw no discernible difference.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.
