    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Headlamp lens/reflector Diameter

Anyone know where I can find an official diameter of a lens/reflector assembly for a 81 gs750L? It seems to be 6 3/8", but I'd like to be sure before I order something. And does anyone know of a good place to get aftermarket headlamp?

Or is there a way to clean my current one. The inside is all cloudy.
 
If you are talking about condensation on the inside surface of the lens, and your headlight is not a sealed unit, take out the bulb, and carefully insert a swatch of material cut from an old t-shirt or whatever...soft and absorbent. Wipe carefully, using a plastic or wooden stick....don't touch the reflector. Pick up an H4 Osram Sylverstar bulb, and you should be good to go. If your bike has a sealed beam, you are probably looking at replacing it....maybe go with an assembly that allows you to change bulbs in the future, as some here have done.

Tony.
 
Thanks Tony,

It's not sealed, and the fogging is actually discoloration of the plastic (not moisture) (it may be glass though). It may BE from moisture, by not of itself (it looks like an original part). I'll give your idea a try.
