    Hi all,

    I am looking for a headlight bucket for an 82 Yamaha maxim (square headlight). I have been unable to find one, much to my surprise. Have these become unobtanium? I only need the bucket, but I'll buy the bulb, etc. if necessary.

    Thanks!

    Found only one on eBay. Looking at the recently “sold” list there, it looks like they do come across there regularly.

    Cool, I'll keep an eye out for a bit then.

    Yeah, it's a one year part as far as I know. I was hoping to stay stock, but I might just go ahead and go with an aftermarket one if I can't find original for a reasonable price.

    Thanks for keeping an eye out @wgul and all. I saw that one for $40 and was watching it. I want going to get a broken one for $40, but I'll do 20. Sold!

    And it is listed as 81 despite being an 82.

    Yeah I almost bought an 83 with the round one. When I first saw it I thought someone had replaced the headlight with an XJ650 one !

    Yeah, I generally prefer the round look, but I'm keeping this one mostly stock for now.

    I did end up finding one. The guy had it listed as an 81 headlight assembly, so i initially missed it. Thanks for looking!
