Tail/Rear Cowl dimensions - gs1000e vs gs850g

[Guest]

Anyone know if the tail cowl has the same length/dimensions on the 850g (or 1000g, for that matter) as it is on the 1000e? Mine is cracked and I want to replace it... Somehow the 850g looks a little longer in the pics.
Thanks.

What year 1000E?

It's the same part for the early 850s.

Okay, good to know -- thank you.

It's the same part for the early 850s.

Not if he has a 78 with indents,same as the 79 and 80.That's why RB asked what year.

[Sbenjam]

Hmmm. My 1000E is a 78.
What are the dimensions of the tail from the 850g?
Thanks.

I can measure mine when I get home tonight.

But there could be other differences as well such as tool compartment, mounting position and stud length.

[rustybronco]

The length less the mldg appears to be the same (7-9/16" top middle). the tool compartment and and angularity at the forward end is completely different between the two.

Thanks, RB -- I can see it now. Very helpful. I'll check the local boneyard for a 1000 tail.
Much appreciated!
