Bulb, Main, France 45/40W
Main headlamp bulb, France-market spec, 45/40W, listed across several electrical and headlamp figures.
This is the main headlamp bulb listed for France-market machines, rated 45/40W, and it shows up in the electrical equipment sections of the parts books as well as in the headlamp figures covering Fastback, Fastback L.R., Roadster, Interpol, and Interstate variants. It's the bulb that sits in the headlamp shell and does the actual work of lighting the road, with the dual wattage figures reflecting separate filaments for high and low beam.

The France designation tells you this was the bulb spec'd for bikes sold new in that market, which sometimes ran different wattages or base configurations than UK or US-spec headlamps. If you're chasing a replacement for a France-market machine, this is the number to reference. For anything else, check what your headlamp shell and existing bulb actually take before ordering, since headlamp bulb specs varied by market.
It turns up across a handful of catalog entries spanning the early 1970s, always under the general electrical equipment or headlamp figures, so it's a stock consumable item rather than anything unique to one model.
