1979 gs850 headlight brackets fit an '83?

[texaninseattle]

I am currently watching a set of 1979 gs850 headlight ears on ebay, and am wondering if they will fit my 1983 gs850g? I need a set so that I can ditch my vetter fairing.

Thanks

Hi,

I think they'll fit. The forks are the same size. Check the part number and use the parts cross-reference procedure on my website to be absolutely sure.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I'll look late this evening and tell you for sure if they will fit.

83's are chrome and the 79's are black (I'm watching them also...)

I donated mine to a good cause and I'm just rebuilding my stock. (don't have to have them)

You talking about the ones going for 9.99 in Lakeville? I'm watching them as well. I don't desperately need them, was just going to get a pair ready to replace those on my '79 850 the PO bent up when I get round to doing the fork seals.

Let me know so I don't bid against anyone.

EDIT: the auction I'm watching ends in around 5hrs so you still going to be able to check before then rustybronco?

Please speak up if you're going to bid on these, I don't wish to jack the price for any one here.

[texaninseattle]

bid away, I havent completly made up my mind on them yet

[Wallowgreen]

How about you then rustybronco?

Like I said, I'm not desperate for them either. Perhaps we should have one each? Actually I think there's a second pair up for auction as well, just didn't put those in my watch window because the starting bid was higher, 14.99 if I remember.

I'll see if I can find them...

I'll try to do it on my way to the hospital.
(one of my best friends is in intensive care)
IIRC it will.

hmm 19.99, bit pricey...

Nope, just shelf items.
the later chrome ones don't come up too often on the 'bay.

these are the ones I am watching. they don't come with the bushings for the park lamps.

Alrighty then, I'll have a go at 'em

(I'm out of the bidding process "on any of them")

[Wallowgreen]

Ooopps, just checking I read your last post correctly so I don't screw up here. The link you posted is the pair I'm talking about and was planning to bid on.

That ok or would you like 'em?
