If you have a steady hand you can try the trick that a lot of vintage & veteran riders use.
Use a Dremel tool with a cut off wheel and remove the reflector from a Lucal headlamp.
You are saving the glass for an "original look".
Now down to your local oriential bike wreckers and get a headlamp from them.
Do the same with it but this time you are saving then reflector.
A dollop of your favourite silicon and you have a "new" headlamp that will take modern globes, provide good light but look original.

Finally had a chance to ride the bike at night with the dynamo regulators belt drive (+20% speed) kit in.  Massive difference!  35/35w globe, can sit on about 35mph with full lighting and see much more about!

Happy I don't need to go 12v now.  Last thing to do is fit a dry belt drive kit to the primary.

Cheers
Hubie.

Glad to hear the dynamo belt drive is a success, Hubie. Good to be able to see the way ahead  eek
More riding less fettling the 'lectrics.
Cheers

What a brilliant idea!
