I have a rt2 and need a new headlight glass and bulb.  Is there a replacement / modification available?

Do you want another sealed beam? If so, the below site has something that should work. I used a replacement 5.75 inch shell so I could run H4 bulbs and ditched the sealed beam.

If you haven't already done so, install a voltage regulator per the below tech bulletin to prevent blown headlamp bulbs.

A standard 5 3/4" H4 reflector or sealed beam will fit just fine in the stock rim.  You simply use "W" clips from Yamaha or someplace like MikesXS.
