82 GS 1100 E Headlight

[Guest]

Hey guys, don't know if this or electrical is a better place for this, but we'll try here first. Slid my bike Sunday. Took out the "train" headlight... what's the best recommendation for a replacement? I'm fine with doing something a little different. I think I'd mostly just need the lens assembly which looks to possibly be available from various Suzuki oem places online for ~$100. Found it on Ebay for $200+ also. Which makes me think the oem places may not actually have them. Anyway, I'm trying to be cheap here, what are my options?

Too bad about the spill, Drew.
I think your best option would be to post your request in the Parts-Wanted section and cross your fingers.

First rule in the EZ BoyEZ. NO SLIDING THE EZ !!

Check some junk yards and CL. Ill check up here for ya... I know a guy parting out a EZ.

Alright, I didn't know if anyone had been doing any sort of simple mods with them? I'm not opposed to something different. Just moderately easy. The right bracket also got bent way out of shape. Have to hunt that down too. Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Been looking around today. I think I like the idea of the Buell XB headlights. Seems like it's pretty easy to put on. However, one of my ears are bent, anyone found any good aftermarket headlight brackets that aren't $100?

Also, what have people done with all of the wiring in the bucket?
