    Are the headlight-to-rim mounts standardized? Also are the 3-bolt pattern rim-to-bucket mounts standardized?
    The 1980 GS1000E headlight parts diagram is here:

    You have the bucket, which is part #18 in the diagram.

    You can use any headlight that uses the same rim, which is part # 1 in the diagram & Suzuki part # 35111-45600
    The list of bikes in the eBay listing that you found looks pretty complete.

    Don't get an "L" model headlight, they are smaller than yours.

      I believe all GS1000's came stock with a 7" 4H type lamp. Lots of good bulbs on the market. A Silverstar is quite popular. I believe the number is 9003.

        Thanks, Jabcb. That website has all of the info I need for parts, however those parts seem to be brand-spanking-new. Now I'm one to drool over NOS parts, but over $200 (with part 3) for the headlight mounting assembly seems a touch steep.

        Now that I know exactly what I need I suppose I should just ask: does anyone have the headlight-to-bucket mounting assembly (exploded view)? Condition does not matter.

        Also, I made a wanted ad!
