You'll need a European /Australian/New Zealand spec headlight as the light beam points a different way on a uk headlight.
Good luck
only a slightly modified gsx1400

Don't think so Seth, different hemisphere but were on the left, same side of the road as UK. Sweden is different.
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

NZ & Aus are basically British colonies and as such we have the same British road rules (and drive on the left)  He'll need an EU / Swedish headlight.

I thought that but after my injection answer yesterday just stayed in my box. One on ebay from China, $65 , doesnt say which way it dips.

Correct. My UK and AU headlights dip the same.

Riding in the EU we used to paint headlight yellow or add tape. When a mate imported Dutch and French bikes into the UK we used to change the headlights.

Folk joke about left and right hand drive motorbikes, but there are.

My aftermarket Steed LED 7' sealed IRIS is ADR compliant in that the low beam keeps a larger area lit on the left than on the right, so that we don't blind oncoming drivers. Using that on a road when riding on the right would shine directly into oncoming drivers.
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

Fella I know thought he'd be clever and source a lefthand Lexus door mirror from the US. Asked me to fit it, which I did. However to look into the mirror from the drivers seat you couldn't get it to adjust correctly. Sat in the passengers seat and the mirror was perfect.
I found a secondhand one locally, even the right colour had it delivered in two days......
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

I thought it was easy, I did post the fit up on here a while back. The high beam is fantastic.  It hasn't fallen out or failed in the past 3years, so id call that a win.  There's a few options available from Stedi now, black and chrome and a few light options.  I've got the chrome version.  I reckon the black would look good on an all black 1402.

I'll look up your post  :cheers:
$300 here, so not too bad.

I drive on the right side in Sweden so a light from the EU is preferable. I don't like the LED light I have now.
