Headlight Shell Holes BMW R50
Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2020 7:42 pm
Hello,
I am finishing up my 1956 R50 and working on the electrical. I wanted to show my shell and verify the "holes". I realize my shell is probably from a later bike.
I'm showing pics of the back and bottom.
I will be putting on the bar end lights.
Please help me confirm my holes!
1. The back sides I suppose are the wiring from the handlebar switches and the middle back the wires coming from the bar end lights?
2. The bottom has a large and small hole. Is the large hole standard? Is it small hole for speedo cable and large for main harness? If so, is there a grommet available for the big hole? The big hole does appear original but I don't see in on other shell pics on the net.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Doug F
