    Headlight bucket replacement?

    Hey guys,

    My 1980 GS550E's headlight bucket is cracked so I'm looking to get a new one. Do you guys know of anywhere that sell them for a reasonable price? I've discovered how overpriced they can get on eBay...
    If there is a universal bucket that will fit my bike, or a bucket from another bike that will be cheaper and still fit? Im open to these solutions as well!

    Thanks in advanced!

    I replaced my cracked headlight bucket with an Emgo unit. Part # 66-65010 for the bucket in matte black. They call it "Kawasaki style" but it fit no problem. $40 on Amazon. Also comes in gloss black or chrome. See Emgo catalog for part numbers.

    The catch is I installed a new lens/reflector housing at the same time. For some reason, I recall thinking the stock sealed beam (or actually whenever replacement sealed beam on my bike) may not fit the new bucket.

      Check dimecitycycles.com, I got my replacement from them. Not cheap, but decent product. Link to the headlight I got, but they have few buckets in stock.

        Lots of options:

          ^ That's a 6.25" headlight bucket. His bike uses the same 7" as mine.

          I just wanted to correct my earlier post. The part number is correct but they call it the universal style. Kawasaki style is the other version.
