So I bought a new magneto cover from bike bandit for my 78 gs1000ec. It was very expensive but I needed a nice replacement since mine was all road rashed up. It arrived black in color which was a little strange since I know the stock aluminum unit had no paint on it. They looked very similar so when I went to install it, I discovered that they have slightly different bolt hole patterns...I cant return it now but I need to know what happened. So here they are. The red circle is on the new part I purchased. You can see that there is an extra flange on that side. They are no doubt both from a gs but what years and models? Is it possible my engine isnt the original 78? Please help I need to get the right one.

I don't remember black GS engines pre 1983. I'm positive the GS 1000's were not black. I had a "78" Standard, spoke wheel model, a "79" 1000 "S", Both an "80" GS 1000 "E" & "G", none black. Sorry, don't know what you have, The "83" 1100 "E"'s were black1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100 -
