    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...

Need headlight ears for a 1978 GS 1000: will others work?

I am wanting to take the fairing off my GS 1000 and replace it with a headlight. Will fork/headlight ears from other models work? Thanks!
 
Do you know the diameter of the fork tubes? If they are 37mm I may have a set that will work. Check the diameter and the length between the upper and lower triple tree.

Hello--my forks are of 37 mm diameter; and the length between the upper and lower triple tree is about 7.25 inches.

Thanks for your message!

I did some digging and didn't run across them. I seem to remember letting them go with the stock front end I sold to a guy a couple of years ago. Parts from '83-'85 GS770/750's should work for you. GS1100 parts should be the same. I'm not sure about fork diameter on 1150's, they might work as well. Sorry.
 
I got a pair from Lockhart for my 78 GS1000 that are billit aluminum, looks real nice but there is no turn signal mounts with them.
 
Hey spuddy. I've got a pair of ears off of my 1980 GS850G floating around the garage somewhere. Don't know if they would fit your application, but you can have them for shipping costs if you want (if I can find them). Should be around 10 bucks I would figure. Send me a PM if you are interested.
