Square headlight on 83 GS1100E???

I looked at Rifle Monday, only listed for an 7 inch, I emailed them but have no response yet.

Rifle uses inserts for the headlights on the Superbike and Sport fairings, & 8" is one of the options. Not sure, but I think you could even swap out the insert if you found a used one.

Omar's sells a nice looking little cafe fairing for the 8" headlight. Not cheap, but it looks great. They've got rearsets and a bunch of other stuff too.

I got a Wes Cooley from a local salvage shop a few years ago for $20. The headlight well is deep and tapered, so I was able to cut some away so it fit the 8". Works great and would really loook good if it didn't have the dull spray can paint job.

I got a GPz550 square headlight from the bone yard, and put it on my 82gs11e. I didn't like the spotlight.

I have always liked the idea of a doing a full fairing swap.
Taking the one from skip['s / Luke's 1150 and bolting direct on.
Kind of like this, wrong color though

I have done some frame- up work this last spring when I got her, and only a few small brackets are needed to fit right on.
I will have to lose my risers, unless I re-configure the bar situation, but that steps are in trial still.
Rode with it semi- mounted with Jethro and should be bit chin\\/
To gain a windshield that protects nicely, turn signals and mirrors on the fairing.
And the headlight keep straight as you turn.
Had to remember that feeling
Make for the beginning of Old Skool Sport-Touring GS

The cut- down fairings are sweet.
Depends on what you want.
Will be here to give you any ideas.

Sorry, I guess I forgot to mention, I put the fairing on my 83 GS1100ED not a 1150 8-[

Check out the Hannigan fairings:shock: :shock:


Different but the general slant I'm leaning for
