    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.

Headlight 1978 GS1000C

I measured the hole to be 7" in the bracket. I got the bike with a fairing on it and took it off, was wondering what type of headlight will work for a 78 GS1000C. Any old 7" sealed bulb? Links would be extremely helpful. Also need front turn signals, dont know where exactly they mount to. And the rear turn signals stay on, do not blink. Do I need a new flasher? And where can I find it to replace it? Thanks in advance. (and sorry I work a lot of hours and dont have a lot of time to research this stuff)
 
You will need a little more than just a bulb if the trim ring and retainer ring are missing you will need those. As for the turn signals, the fronts should mount to the headlight bracket and they will not flash if the fronts are missing. Once you get them installed they should flash fine. At least that's how my 1978 GS750 worked. You can find parts diagrams at bikebandit.com
