Do you sell a 6 volt halogen headlight kit for a 1959 R69? I know it consists partly of a bulb and reflector as well as a headlight lense.

There is a 6V halogen kit sold by a US Vintage club member.
His name is listed in Slabon's Restoration guide.
Otherwise, you can make your own by using an R65 lens, reflector and bulb holder
and use a 6V H4 bulb. The lens/reflector fits inside the stock /2 rim.
Use the standard springs to hold it in.

My bike is set up like this but with 12V bulbs. It works!

would then use a 6V H4 bulb in the bulb holder.
