I have been unsucessful in finding some of the lights that fit into the gages for a '72 h2. When I say lights, I mean the sockets and everything. Anybody have any luck using any off another year bike? If so, make/model/year?

Thanks

jason

I think he means the Tacho/Speedo light holders, J.P. I have a few spares here, but there should be something available a bit closer!!

I do in fact need the speed/tach lights. I'm puzzled that they are this difficult to get ahold of. Even the tach's and speedo's I see for sale online don't have them in them usually

That is for a '74- '75, but it does look like it could be easily modded for a '72.

I think it could fit up without too much work. Here's to hoping!

I'm doing my early H2 lights right now, you will be able to get there with that easily. (couple of bullet connectors) Cheers!

ended up putting some off a kz400 on there. fit right in the gages and worked great. wiring wasn't plug and play, but easily adapted
