Did the headlight brackets come in black and chrome versions. I have seen both.

Hi Jim,
We may have to ask others to prove this , but I have seen many black versions as an after-market option but not from new original purchases.
Best regards, Allen. Hi,
Black ones have a separate reinforced indicator/turn signal mounting. They were first fitted to the '71 T100, the left-hand one included a mounting for the two-position ignition switch. Those were then fitted to '73/'74 T150's and '73-to-early-'79 twins, except only early-'79 twins had a left-hand one without the ignition switch mounting; during '79, these separate brackets were replaced by one-piece combined brackets-'n'-fork shrouds.
Hth.
Regards, I think the black ones are T140, and from memory 3/8" shorter than T160 versions.
