Would the headlight mounts from a `79 or `80 GS550 fit a `78 GS1000E? Are the fork tubes the same diameter between a 550 and a 1000?

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.

Hi,
Part of the information available on my little website:
Parts Cross-Reference Procedure - using a couple of our favorite online resources.
1. Start here:
http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm
2. Find your bike by year and model. Select the part you wish to reference.
3. Identify the part number, right-click and copy the part number.
4. Then use Babbit's cross-reference utility here:
http://www.babbittsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/default.aspxhttp://www.babbittsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/1/default.aspx
5. In the pull-down menu labeled "Brands", select "Suzuki".
6. Right-click and paste the part number copied from alpha-sports into the line labeled "Search for".
7. Click "Quick lookup".
You are then presented with every model that the referenced part will fit.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I want to start accruing the parts I'll need to restore a `78 E model 1000 I'm getting.
- Headlight, headlight ears, headlight bucket and trim ring,
- Both side covers and logos,
- seat foam and cover (thanks to the mice)
- Correct (complete) signal light assemblies.
more to discover when I actually get the bike.

I haven't been able to find the cross reference page on Babbits for awhile now. Anyone know the new link or is there another site that I can use for cross reference? Thanks.

ya they changed their site a bit. It's there still though, just scroll over the motorcyle tab, then the select Suzuki under the parts section and you're there.
Glad you found the 'E' model you were looking for. Looking forward the rebuild to follow.

Went there and wasn't bright enough to figure it out. Still need help, just to make sure I don't purchase stuff that doesn't work. When I put in a part number and search, it give me a select model. Does this mean all the models listed use the part number I am looking up?
Yea, click on that and another window will pop up to see what all uses it. Took me a little bit on the first day but I still like it.
