Turn signal lens

[Guest]

Can someone please measure their turn signal lens from any of these models.
Suzuki...76-78GS500 TITAN....77-80 GS550/E.....80-82 GS550L....81 GS550T....77GT550....81-82 GS650GL....80-81 GS750L....82 GS750T.....80-81 GS850GL...80 GS1000GL...80 GS1100L.
I bought a pair off Ebay and they are huge. I replaced my stock signals with aftermarket but if I remember correctly they were the same size as the stock signals. The huge signals measure 3 5/8 accross and 1 3/8 thick. These are the round version. The signals I have intalled are considerably smaller.
Thanks

Chef, I have the ones from an 81 650L. They are approx 3 1/4" wide. I think most of the early 750/1000 models had the bigger "popsicle" type signals.

Can't help you with exact measurements, but I can tell you that larger bikes had larger signals.

Four years ago, on the first long trip with my wife's '82 850L, we lost a rear signal somewhere in Oklahoma. My guess is that we hit some bad bumps in the road and the luggage rack, which is supported by the turn signal mounting bolts, bounced real hard and sheared the signal mounts. We found a junk err ... recycling facility in Colorado. They had lenses that would have fit, but we needed the complete light and the mount. The only one they had came off a 1000, but I don't remember noticing the year. It was about 1/2 inch larger, but it worked. When we got home and I had the luxury of time, I got some 'new' signals off eBay.

The turn signal lenses on my '81 GS750L are approx. three (3") in diameter and seven eighths (7/8") in thickness.

I'm pretty confident that they're stock. Here's a couple pics...

lenses off of my 1980 550L are 3.150" dia by 1" deep.
