    If it is the big Suzuki headlight, it is "technically" an 8" light...as the glass is 8 inches in diameter....but it will be closer to 9" overall...

    They came on the '82-'83 1100E and the GS1150s....

    Just so you know, a good 8" light assembly is worth quite a bit of money....

    Got a picture? Does it look like this?

        No, some parts are still avalible through Suzuki. Partshark, (formerly flatout motorcycles), has just the rim listed for $44.

        As far as the light's value, a whole light assembly will sometimes sell for $100-150 or more on eBay...

          thats good to know,the brackets that hold it on are kinda funky,they look like they are from same side if you know what I mean,so I was going to put aftermarket bracket on if it will fit like the big headlight!!!
