I asked the uk seller about the measurements of the grill and what bike/bikes it will fit and he replied…….
“…im not near this to measure but what I do know is that it will only fit the headlamps that have a plastic bowl, i hope this helps
Regards…”
That’s a shame - I fancied one for my 1975 DT400 twin shock…
Sorry Cdr, I didn’t mean to hijack your query / thread…

They were an optional accessory in the UK, but I never saw a bike in a dealer showroom without one fitted as standard.

Pretty sure they are technically illegal for road use in the USA.  But probably not likely to get stopped for it these days.

It looks great! That screw needs cutting down though!
Does anyone know if this grill will fit a 1975 DT400B…?
Thanks.
