Hi, Just got back from spin today and the headlight glass is cracked so looked at cost of replacement on Stien-Dinse 291,81 €!!!!!!FFS for a complete unit. My GRiSO is of 2006 vintage and has an 850 engine. Are there any cheaper alternatives out there? I do like the appearance of the original unit but can't justify the spend.

While not as pretty you can replace the lamp with a generic H4 unit from Hella or similar for a fraction of the price. I had to do this on the first day of ownership of my 1100 when a truck dumped it's tailgate and spilt a load of soil and rocks all over me and my brand new bike! I was actually riding home from registering it's! That smarted! You need to use 'W' clips to retain it in the rim so you have no 'X' adjustment but I rode it this way for two years and never had problems at night.

Thx, for the link. Is the headlamp the same on the 1100 as the 850 as it looks very similar to me?

Ok all this is what i did. I bought a cheap h4 insert (20€) and glued the backing of the old insert to the new so as to use the same adjusters. It took some filling and manipulation but it works.
