GS850 headlight brackets.

Hi all,
I am removing the fairing and bags on my new GS850, and returning it to more of a stock look. I have collected almost all of the parts, but have a question about the headlight brackets. I can't figure out which is left and right from the parts diagram or the pictures I could find. One leg is slightly shorter than the other, I would like to know if the shorter leg goes up or down?

Oh, anyone looking for a Vetter Quicksilver fairing and Krauser bags?
Thanks for looking!

I found the answer, the shorter leg goes up. Unfortunately, there appears to be more than one possible sets of brackets depending on if you have the chrome headlight or the larger black one. One set has a gap of 6", the other 8". I have the black one, my brackets turned out to be chrome that someone painted black. Fabbed up an "L" bracket so I could use them, I will fix it later during the 9 months of rain in Seattle.
