ITALBRIT CLASSIC MOTORCYCLES -200mm headlamps.

[CLEMTOG]

I know this has been talked about before, but here is a 200mm lamp (in Bosch lingo, 200 mm is the light outlet diameter) as fitted to the drum brake triples, some Münchs and some 750 GTLs

and the Van Veen OCR1000
CLEM

 

[Laverda1000.de]

The only 750 model to get it was the GTL, I suspect the 200mm headlamp was only to be found in GTL sales/press brochures.

I've seen at least one at a Pinkstertreffen, but that of course might have been a retrofit (or the prototype )

My GTL is shown in "La Diva", page 55, with 180mm headlight. As it was one of the bikes used for brochures, etc, it's quite safe to assume it was one of the earliest, maybe even THE prototype. #17936, with production GTLs stated as being "in the 18000 range". Other GTLs shown also carry the 180mm unit.

Sister bike #17937 (lives close by) also has the 180mm.

GTL pictured in the german annual "Das Motorrad" Katalog shows a 200mm unit.
