Headlight spacers dimensions

Forums

I have a group of friends who are rebuilding a variety of Commando,s 750,s & 850,s. We are trying to get the correct thickness of the headlight spacers 06-2035. We have seen these advertised by a number of different suppliers and each one has them as a different thickness from 7/16" to 5/8" ?? Could you please explain why the difference for parts with same part number.

Any help would be great. Thanks, Bryan

This may be no help to you but the last 4 motorcycles I built needed these spacers and since I make my own spacers out of aluminum, I just experimented and used the size that fit/looked best. I am convinced they now look better than stock. If you are restoring, then this may not be the right thing to do.

This would be the way to go if they had the facility. They have each purchased a pair of these spacers and there is about 4 mm difference in the lengths. I suppose they are wanting them right for originality sake.
