    Is this 850G headlight stock or which bike's stock is it?

    I noticed that my 850G came with a newer looking headlight. The chromes were in good condition. I was baffled when I saw an yellow bulb seated inside the headlight.
    Any idea which bike comes with headlight or was it a mod? The yellow light itself does not turn on and probably the bulb has to be replaced.

    Stock would have been a Stanley 001-1970

      I can't figure out which brand that is, as there aren't any markings and the pattern on the light looks different than the ones that I'm used to seeing (common ones are made by Bosch, Cibie, and Hella, plus a million generic ones).

      It's definitely aftermarket, and the second bulb is referred to as a "City Light" which is common in Europe, and people in the US sometimes install it for looks and/or practical use.

      Most of the replacement h4 headlight housings can be ordered with or without the city light. I don't know of any bike that came with one stock. A lot of times the city light is an LED, so I would check to see that the wiring for it is actually connected to something before I went through the trouble of replacing the bulb (LED's rarely burn out).
