'75 xs650 headlight question?

[16vsilverstreak]

Build date 12/74. Did all xs650 in 75 have a metal headlight bucket that accepted a 7 inch light? The reason I ask is I received my XS with some of its parts in boxes. It came with a 7" bucket/light and a 5 3/4 light no bucket. My 7 inch bucket only has one hole in the back and it is made of a plastic like material but very rigid. Pics below. Thanks.

the xs650B (1975) used a 3 hole metal shell, that maybe from a later model

I don't think any 650 ever had a plastic headlight bucket.

Looks like someone "upgraded" the headlight at one point?

I'm not sure that's much of an upgrade. The original headlight bucket AND turn signals were pretty heavily rubber mounted, and for good reason - these bikes vibrate alot. You hang that turn signal off that skinny stud like in your 1st pic and I can guarantee you it won't be there long, lol.

Hey guyz, I recognize that plastic bucket as early-mid `70s Honda...

I figured it out, CB750, it's a HM-20M
