    A few GS850GT questions

    Hello, I will be picking up a 1980 GS850GT on Saturday & will need a couple parts & have a few questions.
    1: P/O sold the factory fairing & it needs a headlight- will any headlight work? I have a great source for used parts here in Seattle, but he's a little disorganized to it takes usually takes some digging to find what I'm looking for.
    2:P/O diagnosed the not charging issue-bad stator- I've been reading the stator pages & plan to test it & the reg/rectifier on my own. What years/models also use the same stator?

    Thanks Patrick

    headlight

    GS850GT came with a 7" headlight. Most any 7" light will work. If the stock mounting ears are missing you can get some aftermarket ones. 850's did not come stock with a fairing. There is a good chance that the stock light is in the fairing. If so you will need to get the headlight bucket/shell. Not sure on the stator. Try a search, there have been several threads on the subject. Good luck on your project. Oh, by the way we like pictures.

      A good source for 7" headlights:


      OEM is a permanently cracked black plastic bucket; my bike is wearing a chrome aftermarket headlight like one of these.




      There are several bikes that use the same basic stator -- the connectors may be different, but you really need to solder these or convert to QUALITY spade connectors anyway. My '83 850 with an '81 engine is wearing a stator from a 2001 GS500...
