    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.

The glass lense on my headlight is 7" diam. But its 8" including the metal.

Ive been looking at aftermarket mini fairings on ebay and most say "for 7" lamps". But is this the glass size or overall size do you think?

I dont want to but one and then find out its too small!:mad:

Cheers!

You should be fine. Now if you had the big 8" train headlight it would be a different story.
 
IIRC, only the 82-83 1100E models had the train light. Everyone else got a tiny 7" or even smaller light.
 
.....and the '84-'86 GS1150E/ES as well.

Also, Yamaha 650 Secas came with an 8" freight train headlight. I currently have one on "Betty" that came off said Yamaha model.
 
Like Yamahas count for anything except parts bikes....
I can say that, look at my previous bikes, and I liked them all (for what they were). ;)
 
Steel Mesh

Steel Mesh

Just to jump in and pinch this thread for a minute or two..

Has anyone seen the old steel mesh headlight guards that used to be around?
I thought it would be kind of cool to fit one up to the 750.
But, alas, I can't find one...yet.
