    1980 1000G Fork Diameter

    Hey everyone.

    I've searched a few times, but I must not be narrowing it down far enough because I can't find specific answers.

    I've decided to take my Vetter fairing off and I'll be putting on just a standard style headlight. I'm doing this to save some money.

    But my bike doesn't have the headlight mounting ears still on the forks, so I need to know what diameter they are so that I can start looking for mounting brackets.

    I'm sure one of you guys will be able to give me the answer faster than I can find it by doing another 15 searches!!!

    Thanks!!

          I've got some original fork/headlight mounts for a 1980 GS750L if you want them. PM me for details.

            The gs 750 will be 35mm forks, the headlight ears are a real tight fit on the 1000 forks.

              37mm is correct.
