How much do you need?
you have 4 pages  of help for a problem that probably does'nt exist,and now you think replacing a headlamp will solve an ammeter problem?


I been a bit harsh perhaps, but I think you are chasing a problem that does not exist, these ammeters have always been inccurate and unreliable,which is why later British biked mostly did away with it.
Disregard it and ride the bike.

Bear in mind labour charges from a bike mechanic these days are around 50 quid an hour you had your moneys worth of free advice on here.

I have now changed my new pattern ammeter for my old original unit and guess what I have a normal working main/dip/pilot system

when revved needle swings to + pos then on tickover fluctuates at 0 battery still reads 14.9 at the terminals when revved

so I relied on the pattern ammeter being 100%,    looking forward to a ride out later (only 1 mile of course)

I have been involved with motorcycle just short of 60yrs,in trade and out of it, learnt early on never to trust pattern spares, these days with no original kit its worse[that stuff in lucas boxes isn't proper Lucas,]

Years in the motorcycle trade tends to make most people a bit cranky.

now get on it an ride it.

[Ps I have a welsh grand mother, a daughter married to a welshman, my best mate is welsh, so I can say what i like about wales and sheep!! :o :o :o :)]
