Well that's interesting. Same lens appearance as the oe sealed beam?

If you want it to look stock with the exact "Koito" or whatever emblem in the glass you'll have to keep looking for a NOS lamp.

They show up now and again. Not cheap when they do.

rimneck, here are comparison photos for you. mine now has the Octane headlight with a replaceable halogen bulb. I use a 12v H4 bulb and it works great providing plenty of light for daytime riding and since I don't have the regulator, teh 12V is less susceptible to blowing out. Anyway, in my hand is the original 6V sealed beam, a GE brand that came on the bike when I got it and on the bike is the Octane. There is a difference to them but nobody has noticed when looking at mine. When i had my 69 DT1, the 6V bulbs blew sometimes and replacing them with 12V bulbs in the headlight cured the problem and I didn't ride a lot at night, but either way the lights weren't great at night. We have to ride with lights on in the daytime in Florida so this is my solution. I hope this helps...love your bike! go ride it.....

Is this the Octane headlight that would work on a 75 DT250?

New intake boot and air box to carb hose.

Rimneck,
If you don't mind me asking. Who did you source your parts thru? They look great!

The intake boot was from Hotfoot Moto for about $100 usd. Also included the gasket.

It carb to air box hose came from Clauss Studios for about $32 usd.

The Yamabond 4 came from my local dealer for about $9 usd.

The intake boot is 110% awesome and would pass for oem.

The carb to air box hose is 100% correct dimensions and fits perfect. The only minor thing I noticed is one half of one end is slightly thinner rubber than the bottom half (still quite thick though). But it fits and works excellent and I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase 100 more of them if I had a need. It sure beats the old one wrapped in black electrical tape to cover a dime size hole in it!!

If you need links let me know and I’ll get them.

I'd be interested in the Clauss studio link. That's a great price for a repop air box hose.
I paid alot more than that for an OEM when doing my 2nd 250A. The original had shrunk
to much to fit correctly.

Hotfoot moto stuff is great, I installed their intake repop on a 78 IT175. It's working great.

Thanks for the info
