I found a Sylvania headlight at auto parts store for my 1973 GT750. Wattage was higher than OEM as my old one was 45/50 and what I put in was 55/65 I believe.

Isn't the 72 a flat bottom headlight or is that just the rim?
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Chris,
My 73 GT750 also has the flat bottom rim but uses a standard round headlight. //Pat

My original 550 didn't have the horseshoe type rim and neither does the one I have stashed for next years' resto.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
