I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it. -

Let me take the pics tomorrow of my mod and the bike with the 6 incher on it..Like i said too..theres a very noticeable gap between the top of the bucket and the bottom of the guages with the 6 incher that isnt there with a 7 inch?? Then again, depending on how soon you want it, i can give you the 6 inch stuff. Im only gonna throw it in the dumpster when i take it off..your call. Maybe send you the 6 inch stuff and you can fit it and if you dont like you can toss it.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Greg, no they don't. I was going to tell you that dog leg was the difference between what they should be like and what you have on it now.Comment

Dales look like they squat in at the light, while yours look like the dogleg is by the forks...exactly the oppposite to me!!!

Chuck I wish I could explain how they got like that. I can't tell you for sure the ears that were the on my GS1000EC were on it from the factory. All I do know is they were the exact same bends that were on my 80 GS850G from the factory, which came with a 7 inch headlight and they appeared as rusted as the rest of the bike, which leads me to believe they were original ears to the bike.Comment

I too have absolutely now doubt that bike was 100% unmolested OR cared for..HA HA.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

While I will make no claims this was an unmolested bike these ears look factory to.Very odd,again.Have the call out here http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=191086 for some.Comment

Inspiring.
I hope I can set aside the time and money for a thorough look at my skunky GS1000 next winter. This year, spring is too near.
