I can't actually make out if the item I'm on about is marked on the diagram in the link above.

I discovered that my bike only has one 'top hat' washer/spacer around the screw that holds the headlight in the body/housing, is this correct? I have made another one on my lathe but then discovered that it and the original one won't actually fit in the hole on the left hand side of the bike.
I know that my bike has a Euro headlight and I think that the body/housing is an aftermarket/copy rather than dealer supplied part,.....to get to the headlight bulb, there's two screws holding the whole thing in.

Here's a picture of the item, still in place on the half unscrewed screw.

The original housing had a sort of 'bonded' bush fitted to the plastic, if it's aftermarket it could be fitted (or not) with all differing types depending who made it.

You can see it on this listing and match to yours to see if it's original??

forgot the ebay link

Thanks, that certainly looks like the item I'm talking about, in that picture, it would be on the left side of the bike then, I'm guessing that there's one on the opposite side too, being a genuine Yamaha item.
