@noggythenogThe original Hornet 900 SC48 headlight has a chrome ring and an unpainted housing:Here in Germany they are rare and quiet expensive. You can buy a new aftermarket headlight for about the same price. But I think the OEM-quality from Stanley is better even if it is used. The one I used for the BMW was cheap since the housing had a crack and the chrome ring some dents and scratches. An alternative is the very similar headlight from the naked version of the Suzuki SV650.
Finally took the plunge and spent nearly £700 on Rukka Gore Tex jacket & trousers, link below. Good quality feel and a 6yr warranty - got fed up of trying to re proof my gear and failing badly.https://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/product/rukka-matti-jacket/4164https://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/product/rukka-focus-gore-tex-short-trousers/5772

Well later this afternoon the roads were dry,got home early enough to tax the fireblade and take it for some fresh petrol and a gentle test ride.It went very well,i don't know if I will get on with it but will see how the summer goes.The bike has only done 1700 miles and you can tell, it is so tight,and it sure goes, it has the original tyres on,6 year old Dunlop Qualifires,plenty of tread but I will change them as they may be harder than new.I tried it a bit on the dual carriageway, haha, hell, what can I say.
