    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.

1979 850G Headlight Ring and Glass

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone can confirm that a headlight from a 1983 850 will fit my 1979? I have the ears and bucket, so I'm trying to find rings, glass, and a bulb that will fit what I have.

Also, if anyone has any spare rings/assemblies around that they'd be willing to part with I'd offer up some cash for them.

Thanks guys,
John
 
I believe it will fit, and it will be a nice upgrade.
The '79s came with a sealed-beam light, the '80-and-ups came with halogen lights with replaceable bulbs.
Much better pattern and brightness.

Hmm, interesting.

Well, after looking through the diagrams on http://alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm and trying to find some really tell-tale difference I could notice from a picture, I've noticed that the adjusting screws are on different sides depending on whether it's a G or GL. On the G, the screw is on the left hand side, on the GL it's on the right... the picture of the one I'm looking at has the screw on the left. Think that's enough to say it will definitely fit my bike?

Thanks again guys!
