Can some one post a good close up of what the paint texture should be on a JOD headlight shell and a pic of the rear of the reflector
Thanks

I just had a look at the first one, and I can't believe my eyes, are those units made of gold, or what....!!
Madness, $2.427.00 for just a headlight...??
If I ever need one for my Special I'm going to find a suitable one under $100 in the car parts store or motorcycle junkyard, I don't care much about originality at all, and for the $2000 I keep in my pocket I can do a lot of maintenance work on ALL of my bikes...totaly crazyness.....!!!

your joking
Your bang on the money Pete. I ride these bikes because I like how they operate. Not so some stooge with a clip board can point his pencil at the parts that monitary policy forced me to use to keep it on the road.
I am going to restore an Aprilia headlight soon and I think that I will silver it using the electroplaters at Strathpine. There are some restorers in Germany that will do the correct coating ( I think). Their site is www.vintage-headlamp-restoration.com I don't know of anyone over here, however.

Headlight re-silvering
Well according to Damien it's actually an aluminium coating. Got my headlight back, it looks like a new one!! It took a little while but well worth it. :-)
