Title: RD 350 headlight ear dimensions needed!
Post by: Dvsrd on March 17, 2020, 10:17:17 PM
Hi,
I suddenly found myself in the middle of a 10 week offshore stint, instead of at the very end of a 5 week period, travelling home today.  So the only sensible thing to do, is to surf the web for cool motorcycle parts to spend the extra overtime money on :)
One thing I have been looking at, is headlight ears for the RD. The stock ones need to come off for straightening and paint, and I need something in the meantime. Moto Lanna has a great selection (for SR and XS), but I can use shims to compensate for the missing millimeter.
So my question of the day is:  What is the distance C-C from fork tube to indicator stalk bolt, on a stock RD350A headlight ear?

Measured on my RD350B 3 3/8", 85MM. That's measuring straight out from the fork tube not along the ear.

Thanks!
Just to be sure, is that 85 mm from centerline of fork tube, or from the outer diameter?

Center of the fork tube to center of the bolt hole.
