Need help with Wes Cooley fairing peices
I am in search of the left and right upper fairing brackets and both mirrors for my 79 GS1000S. From what I have found out so far is that the lower brackets are available from Suzuki but not the top ones. Mirrors I have not found either. Any input? Oh yeah! Does anyone know what the small toggle switch off to the right behind the fairing does?Tags: None

Mystery Switch
I can help you with your question about the switch. It shuts the voltage off going to the analog clock in the dash. I assume it is there to keep from running the battery down if the bike is not going to be ridden for some time. It was a question that I had when getting my bike up and running.

Curt, having hunted down new mirrors for my 1000S you need to be aware that once fitted the only thing you'll see in the mirrors is your elbows. Half of me wishes I'd just gone for bar mounted mirrors.79 GS1000S

True.
But they also act as the mounting point/bolt for the fairing.
And you don't want those unsightly open holes taking away from the lines of the bike, do you ?Keith

You're dead right of course Keith. I was thinking of trying to find some other fairing mounted mirrors that fit using the same mounting holes, maybe even some with built in indicators. But they'd have to look right and therein lies the problem.

I saw a pair off a Ninja 900??? ...... Maybe that fit and had longer stalks
Some one here had some EMGO brand that fit and were long.Keith
