    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.

Replacement headlight for 1980 GS450s

So while I was riding on the highway the other night, my headlight blew out. Immediately flipped to the highbeam, but boy was it startling.
Now my local shop can no longer seem to find me a bulb, and the advanced auto says they can't either.
Seems like the bulb it 6.25 inches in diameter and all they have are 5.75" and 7"
I looked around and everyone seems to be charging $50~60 for just the bulb which is rediculous. Does anyone have any insight? recommendations on an upgrade? Suggestions on a new housing that isn't to expensive and won't require many other changes to the bike? I was thinking it would be nice if it still fits the stock windscreen, but if it doesn't I'll just end up selling the windscreen to someone who wants to restore their bike to stock (S) condition.
I really want to keep this as budget friendly as possible, my income is still very low at this time...
Thanks!
