Britbike forum Forums British Motorcycle specific Brands Bsa bulletin board Inner Headlight Clips

Would anyone here have a picture of the the wire headlight clips installed? These would be the clips that hold the headlight glass to the headlight ring.

Thank you in advance

Have you googled "motorcycle headlight clips", images? Some good ones on there.

Good video below from CBS spares showing how the clips are installed.

Despite the advice and locating the lens between the tabs, I often find that after a while headlight lens has rotated, presumably because of vibration.

Does anyone know how to stop the lens from rotating?

the middle of the spring goes against the back of the reflector
the 2 wire ends go under the the rolled lip of the Chrome ring .
The 1st sprung wire in is easy to place , the 2nd spring end can be grabbed the needle nose pliers
and easily persuaded underneath the lip

You could try applying a thin bead of that clear UHU glue where the glass meets the rim. If it doesn't work, it can easily be removed.

I add a couple of extra clips.

ABout the only place I condone the use of silicon
A thin bead from the 7'0 clock position to the 5') clock position . fit the rime allow to set them clean off any that squeezed out.
You shoud leave the bottom open so water can drain

Thanks for the tips, will try the silicone or glue to hold the lens in place
