    Headlight Gasket

    Hello GSers,

    I’m hoping someone can tell me where and how this gasket attaches to my headlight on my 1980 GS750E.

    (I took this apart a few years ago and I’m having problems remembering where every thing goes.
    Thanks for any help.......A3B13DA0-D82E-4575-945E-04F663DCD6A1.jpg

    Okay, thanks for the 15 or so views.

    I’m pretty sure I’ve got it figured out.
    (BTW, maybe it’s not a gasket, as the parts sites refer to it as a “shade”.)

    One side of the “shade”, if you roll the lip back there is a groove under the lip.
    If you roll the lip back, that groove matches the shape of the inner head light frame.
    That holds the shade in place as you slide the whole light unit into the headlight bucket.

    I’ll try my next question on the electrical forum, as it has to do with............the electrics!
