What size headlight?

what size headlight is on an 83 gs 650 L. Im wanting to get rid of my fairing for the summer and get a headlight and turn signals for the front.
 
I would assume it's probably the same as the '82 650L and 850L that are sitting at my house. The headlight itself is 6 inches across, the entire housing is just about 7 1/2 inches. And, as luck would have it, I just happen to have an extra one sitting on my bench. :)

Do you also need the mounting ears? I have those, too. Can't help you with the turn signals, though.

Is it the chrome bucket and headlight? I think the original headlight bucket ring has the 3 screws that hold it in place. You would know more than I do on that.Also the mounting ears i want are clamp ons so it will be easy to switch back to the fairing when the cold weather hits. I have a salvage yard by me that I can get the turn signals from so that's no problem there.is it in good condition?thanks for your reply.

Yes, it is the chrome bucket. This one is in excellent condition. I only removed it so I could put on a 7" light. This one only has 2 screws that hold the front ring in place. The top is held by an internal lip, the screws are at 4 and 8 o'clock. The reflector is not cloudy at all, and both low- and high-beams work. Not sure if I have the mounting screws to hold the bucket to the ears, though, I might have used them on the 7' light that is now on the bike. I can look to see if I have some in the spare hardware bucket.
