    In another life I crashed my 83 1100e and broke the headlight. I used a salvage sourced garden variety 7" light assembly with a couple of home brewed spacers to fill the gap and fit between the stock 8" (not 9" fyi) mounting ears. This got me by until I found a proper 8" light.

    IMO the 8" light is one of the (many) big GSs charms, and I think they just look wrong without it..... They are available, but not necessarily cheap.

      Pricey, but, OEM and still available.

      There are other OEM vendors that could be cheaper...
