Hi all I wonder if some of you can help identify the two headlight shells in the following pictures.

https://plus.google.com/photos/109706988765584743320/albums/6103143525392919729

The black one is, I pretty certain off an R26 but I need to know if some of the smaller holes are extras someone has added.

The grey coloured one came with a Bosch lamp assembly and is slightly larger than the black one. It also does not have the scallop on the underside like the black one but I am not sure what bike it is for.

On some of the parts list I have looked at there is a Bosch headlight and a Hella headlight shown as options for the R26 bikes.

Any help much appreciated.

The black one is from a 25/3 (dent underside of the shell)...the small holes are extra added
the grey one is pre-war (with 2 extra holes ;D)....the exact diameter was interesting....so ist seems R12 with battery ignition....late fabrication ("normal" odometer...the first have a "Walzentacho")

Thanks for that rolf

I have added two more photos showing diameter, the black on is 7 1/4" and the grey one is 7 1/2"

I was hoping they were for my R26.

If your R 26 is not a R 12 or a R 25/3 (as I wrote above)....none of them were original for the 26....but you can take the 25/3 shell...it is nearly the same...or you find someone who will change it with a shell without dent (they are more on the market than these with dent)

PS
sell the r12 Shell....you get more than you have to pay for a 26 shell

I have added a couple more pictures of the R12 headlight showing the Bosch glass, chrome bezel and reflector fitted.

I am now open to offers.  :)
