Can anybody tell me if the naked 400 & 600 Bandit headlight is the same as gen 1 B12. Thanks.

The 600's would be identical (in countries that got naked B6's anyway). Not sure about the 400, but imagine if not the same, it's close enough to work.

Thanks Paul. Took the punt a bought a 400 headlight off ebay. Saw photo's, both headlights appear to be the same. Side plate mounting brackets are different though. Headlight comes with the RH bracket, will check to see if it fits, then may only need LH bracket or alternatively 2 1200 brackets.

The 400 & 600 have smaller fork tubes than the 1200, so you'll proabaly need the 1200's brackets - or something that fits 43mm fork tubes.

G'day Paul,
Have the 1200 fork tube brackets. On their way from Potugal. Bike has become a real league of nations job.
Thanks.
