    Round stem is correct on the '82.

        just fyi - most indicators for sale are aftermarket parts, (nothing wrong with them),
        if you're after oem stuff they are hard to find and expensive.

            That may work but it's not a stock Suzuki. The square mounting end measures around 15mm (.600").
            The whole unit is still available from Suzuki but rather expensive.
            I dont know what you consider correct but I consider it OEM or NOS. I need some for my '83 and I'm saving my money for new.
            I would consider the stem for mounting to the ears on the ones you pictured. There should be threads sticking out the end.

                Those look correct. Just make sure they're for the front or rear (whichever ones you need).
                Stems measure around 83mm (3.25") or 172mm (6.75") overall.

                I just noticed that those don't mention '82. The part numbers for '81 and '82 are different.

                  notice the "Shape and color match the original indicators" ?
                  For that price it's very likely not original, but you may not need them to be ?
                  They look great.

                    You are correct, those aren't original but they do look great.

                        time to get acquainted with the partslist

                        Here is the partslist for the 1982 GS850 GL

                        As you can see, there are 2 different models 850GL that year : model D with square plastic indicators,
                        and model Z with the round chrome ones.

                          Mine are round ones with round stems the stems are short so think there off a gn instead of gs and were on the bike when I bought but wemoto in the UK say its round ones with square stems. Think I'll go for round ones.

                            Wemoto is not a reliable source if you are looking for parts.
                            They have a small list of parts that may or may not be the correct parts.
                            Not to be compared to a comprehensive list like i mentioned to you.
                            In that list you can clearly recognize the round stem the Z models use.

                            You may have to add a ground cable, but i guess even the Wemoto ones will fit.
