A forum for owners of Yamaha TTR250 trail and enduro bikes!

Hi there

The blue TTRs from 2004 onwards in the UK have a different headlight to the US model and their brackets look like this:

If you have the standard US headlight then I think you would need brackets like these:

What do you reckon?

I am probably going to bore everyone to death but feel the need to explain in a bit more detail 

The blue TTRs in the USA had a blue version of the headlight that is fitted to all the white metal-tanked UK Open Enduros.

US headlight is like this:

UK headlight is exactly the same fitting but in white:

The white metal-tanked OE TTRs in the UK had a different style of indicator fitted compared to the later blue UK TTR - see a full set with their brackets below - front indicators at top of pic:

Perhaps the pic below shows the front and rear brackets more clearly:

I don't know what fittings your indicators have but am guessing they won't fit those brackets?

On my project TTR pictured in my earlier message, I have fitted a US headlight to accommodate the digital speedo and wanted to fit the genuine Yamaha indicators from the blue plastic-tanked model as shown below:

That's a long way around of explaining why the indicator brackets are separate items and installed on top of the headlight brackets.

The brackets I used are genuine Yamaha items from a 2003 UK TTR250 which used the Australian style headlight which has its own fitting brackets. The pic below shows both front and rear brackets:

Later UK blue TTRs had a combined headlight and indicator bracket.

If that helps, which of those brackets do you reckon you need?

An easy way out on the front indicators is to mount them directly into the headlight surround - I had no problems with my installation pictured below:
