The light that came on my GS1000EC is a 7 inch headlight and is (was) correct for that model. Greg's GS1000C came with a 7 inch headlight from the factory as well.

I know theres one more for me to mod and I have the 750 ears set aside.. Frank Z has my burrs and the air die grinder. The bike has the setup it came with still on it..like I said, pics tomorrow.
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.

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.
Dales look like they squat in at the light, while yours look like the dogleg is by the forks...exactly the oppposite to me!!!
EDIT..or straight and just the dish for the bolt.

I didn't see pics in your previous post.Yea these are the wrong ears.Lots of cursing I will leave out the
Fresh off the press...
When and why do you suppose these doglegged ones found their way to the bikes Dale?? I did give a set of the doglegged ones i took off to Frank Z and he used them on his Cooley....wonder if thats the deal?? In fact i gave him two sets!!!
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.
I too have absolutely now doubt that bike was 100% unmolested OR cared for..HA HA.

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.

Heres the last 78 1000 E i have to do the fork ear mods too. As i said, if i try to put a 7 inch in, then as you can see thats not gonna work. This is the way I got the bike...go figure.

While I'm thinking about it,the paint colour is Toyota Barcelona Red Metallic.A very red metallic.The Garrnet Metallic Pearl is a bit to dark for my tastes.
