    Can someone show me a pic of the correct rear turn signal mounting on a Gs/G?

    My recent purchase - '80 GS850Gt - was somewhat hacked by the PO{s}, so I'm trying to re-do her correctly. One of the things is the mounting of the rear turn signals on my bike - at the moment both rear turn signals are mounted on via an elongated U bracket, which is bolted on where the plate is mounted. I've seen exploded views, but those don't show an assembled view and can be vague.
    Can anyone either direct me to a close up view or snap a pic of their bike so I can see how they go on?
    Sounds hokey, I know, but the way it is isn't right and I want to fix it.
    Thanks.

        There is a tab that bolts to the end of the frame rail, the turn signal attaches to that tab.

        On the parts fiche, the tabs are #23 and #24 (they are side-specific).

            That explains it better. I saw a tab each side but couldn't easily figure out where it mounted. Now I also see how the center stand grab handle mounts inside the shock - not outside. {missing both tabs and the grab handle on mine}
            Thanks folks - that helps a lot!

            Vmass- that was a clean bike!
