Part #: Suzuki GT750 J-M 1972-1975 Headlamp Ring 35127-45030-000

So I need the headlight trim / retaining ring for my headlight bucket for my 74 GT750 restoration project. I cannot find this part anywhere, it is "unobtainium!"

Although I am in the states, I can pay for international shipping. I did find it on a UK website but they do not ship to the USA.

Any suggestions?

*It's the second part from the front that secures the lamp to rest of the housing, (3 tabs)

PS: The restoration project is coming along fine:

Nope. Retired Commissioning Engineer. Retired as in, I don't do paid work (mostly).......
I do use ebay quite a lot and know how to use and manipulate the searches.

I did see that on Partzillia and without image of the part, I was not sure it was correct. But thanks!

Alan,

thanks as always for you finding solutions to hard problems. Funny thing is I did a search on e-bay and came up empty. I'm not sure why, but thanks for

finding it. *I did order it and we will see if it fits.

Cheers,

Sky
