Aussie R80g/s with djebel headlight help

[LuckyStu]

Hey there,

I have, or had, a Suzuki Dr250 'Djebel' headlight on my BMW r80g/s. Yesterday a light truck did a u-turn in front of me and the collision took out my light bracket:

The Djebel was not sold in Australia. Does anybody have a lead on where I could buy another (preferably used) bracket/surround or if reasonable complete light?

Thanks in advance

I've never heard of them. Hopefully somebody else will.

I'd have thought Your fellow countryman Paul Rooney would be your best bet

Thanks Rob, the djebel was sold in Asia and the UK so thought I'd try here. I need the alloy half loop. And yes I found the new one on ebay for hundreds of dollars!

I've never heard of them. Hopefully somebody else will.

Cheers Litel, I have a spare light in that style. I was just seeing if anyone had a lead. Appreciate your offer all the same. Thanks!

Hey there Ras! Yep, I was lucky to pick that one up. Stumbled across it on line one day. Ill run another light until I get the big ol round one repaired or go for the same option as you have. Is yours the Trail Tech or Baja Designs, did you modify the light lens and or to run high and low beam?

I have the TT version

I have hi/lo beam, by simply placing an ebay headlamp in the 'cage'. Probably a better alternative is the Boatman conversion lamp on ADV

other alternative is to DIY yourself into the same place
