Hi all-
My tale of woe summerized: I bought an '80 GS550L and it had a big ol' WindJammer IV on it, with the headlight pointing nearly straight down. The adjuster doo-dad for the headlight is broke, so I took the WJ off.
If you would have a peek at the headlight shots, it will make this a lot shorter: https://www.100megsfree2.com/revdcla...bikeshots.html
Judging by the schematics I saw at bikebandit.com, I have a sealed beam configuration; great. There are 4 or 6 wires that are going to go to the turn signal; super. With all the info available on the site (I did my search first! ), I think I can figure out which wire goes where plus it *looks like* all the original connectors were used. Here are my questions:
* Do all those wires need to come out of the headlight 'bucket'? Seems they would, but this is all new to me.
* Does the retaining ring on the WJ fit the original headlight mounting? And how do I get that darn ring off?
My main concern is *NOT* OEM. Not right now, any way; my main concern is getting her 'eye' on and operational ASAP (aftermarket signals look pretty straightforward).
ANY assistance with that wiring rat's nest would be greatly appreciated!
Shiny side up, y'all-

P.S Love the bike! Can't wait to motor around more!
