The E and G might be the same, but the L (actually a GL that year) will be different.Originally posted by Baatfam View Post
The L headlight brackets will have a greater offset to compensate for the smaller headlight bucket.

The reason I ask is that turn signal seem like there off from where they should be.

If I had paid more attention to your screen name, I would have known it was an E model, which I have.
Looking at your pictures is it possible the ears are reversed and so are upside down? It is really hard to tell in those photos.
Here are a few pictures I just took of mine. The ears have a level side, and an angled side. The level side should be on the bottom.
Not exactly the same angle as yours, because of the windshield, but maybe they will help.

If you take a pic of straight above are the turn signals straight or do they bend away from a straight line?
It would really suck if there upside down as I just had the fork out for seals. But left the headlight hanging when I did it so I know it back together the way it was beforehandComment

Viewed from above, the signals should be in a straight line, so the lenses point forward.
You also have what we call a "train light", which takes different mounts than the other bikes.
That mount in post #6 is definitely bent, I'll bet the other one is, too.

Like Steve said above, it should be a straight line through the turn signals.Originally posted by suzukigs1100ez View Post
Here is a picture of mine. The are bent a little due to time, but they should be straight.
