Needed : New headlight

[half man half pie]

I haven't been able to use the bike much this year so took the chance of a 3 hour trip on Friday night.
Moving the bike out of the garage the side stand must have been hit so when I lent it over, it gave way pulling me onto the bike and running the headlight down the wall edge.  Nice gouge across the light so replacement needed.
I've looked on eBay and they seem to be from China or £350. 
Does anyone have a unit they could sell ?  Has anyone used a Chinese headlight and do they tend to fit ?
Cheers

I don't think it's an item someone is going to have as a spare, and I have looked around google for you.
The cheapest are on ebay from China, but I don't know of anyone who has bought one. 

[O.C.]

i have quickly checked this site and cannot see one available,  however its always worth giving them a call just in case ...good luck

There was a guy on eBay breaking a complete GTR, asatools I think was his username, English is not his first language and spelling even worse but whomcaresif he has the headlight for sale.

This was the guy.

Thanks for the responses.
Tried calling a few breakers but the GTR isn't a common model so no luck.
One recommended partfinder for £1.99 but no joy.  See a French seller on eBay so a little closer if it doesn't fit.
Still kicking myself after 3 days.

Big Alan. Saw the yellow gtr at the breakers early Saturday but the headlight had gone.

Thanks for your help
My own fault. Keen to get out so perhaps not enough care and probably caught stand slightly on way out of garage. I have moved the windscreen wash bottles off the floor where they seem to congregate.

If you can wait a few months till the next GTR meet I may be able to pick you one up cheap.

do k16 headlamps rit GTR's then?

[half man half pie]

it seemed fairly deep but I didnt check it overly closely as I was pretty mad.
Will look later
Mr Wolf, does your plan to get a cheap one involve some spanners and wire cutters in the night ?

DO NOT buy the ones from China on Ebay.

The plastic moulding for the headlight adjusters is all wrong, and you cannot fit the right hand adjuster.

I found this after my headlight made contact with the rear quarter of a car (who decided to emergency stop ¾ way across a pedestrian crossing in Portugal) and the headlight was trashed.

I couldn't find one from a breakers, didn't want to pay the silly price Kawasaki wanted to charge so took my chance with an Ebay purchase from China.

I wish I hadn't now.

thanks for that Paul.  I do wonder and once you have it, I can imagine thats its a bugger to sort out a refund etc
I'll keep looking but there doesnt seem to be many around and I dont fancy the new price from Mr K so at some point I may need to use Ebay though will try to avoid those outside of the EU

I bought this one from France, fits perfect, adjusters also fit when they have been swapped from the old headlight. The picture for the item isn't correct but they explained that was a mistake, I received the correct item.
