    Head light bucket and Brackets

    Hello All,

    Where is a good place to get original looking headlight bucket and brackets at a affordable price. I'm tired of my Vetter fairing and want to go with a more sporty look. I have a 81 GS650G.

    Thanks,

    You can buy a new bucket as they are still being made, but costly. Brackets are out of production. Ebay is the best source for both. However, when you find brackets make SURE they are for the 81 G or E, and not the L, which had different ones and will not properly fit your G.

        It has the mounts but the headlite itself is broken...but you can get a replacement at any auto parts store. It has a scrape on it but you'd probably need to repaint to match your bike anyway.

          isn't that from an ES? not sure that the fork spacing/mounting is the same from the 650G to the 500

            To the best of my recollection the fork tube dia. is the same and the spacing should be close enough to work as this mounts by sliding the headlight ear pieces over the fork tubes. I'll address this will him and make sure he understands before we do a deal. If he get's it and it doesn't fit no how no way I'll make it right.

              OK, I did a little more research. It is from an 85 GS 500 E See Pic.

                  ok I measured mine and the diameter from centerline to centerline is almost exactly 7". And the forks measure approx. 1.5" diameter.
