    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...

headlight trim

I had my '77 GS750 at a show and shine last summer and a guy noted that my headlight bucket was actually from a Vetter fairing. It suprised the heck out of me because I had never noticed it. I want to get if back to stock and I have a stock bucket from my parts bike but I cannot figure out how to remove the chrome ring. There are 3 slots on the inside that you can see from the photos...maybe they are a clue.

thanks in advance:pray:

Anyone know how to remove the trim without breaking it?

You might want to consider a whole headlight assembly, because the ring is different and not OE as well.

For sure I want to do that but I need to take that ring off in order to remove that bucket. Any ideas on how to do that?

On the bottom side of the chrome trim is a tab. depress it and rotate the ring anti-clockwise?? until it stops, then pull it off.

Thank you...it is exactly as you describe.

Although now that I have the ring off it seems like that Vetter headlight assembly is a better unit than the Suzuki one I was going to put on. hmm
