Looking for headlight assembly with faring off

[Guest]

I want to be able to convert my GS 550 E to be ridden with the front plastic faring off (I am thinking of doing some modifications).

What key words do I need to use to search for a universal motorcycle headlight assembly?

Do I need to know my fork diameter? Do I need a degree in electrical engineering to hook up the headlight to the original wiring?

I want a nice headlight with chrome visor but do not know how to go about searching for such an item on ebay. I want a nice big round halogen headlight (not a square one).

It's a gawdawful web site, but a great vendor. Be persistent and get to the "electrical" section and you'll find the headlight page.

It's this frame:

My GS850 is wearing the chrome 7" Kaw replica headlight with the 8mm mounting holes. It's $65. You also may need a headlamp bulb assembly, $30 for the kind with the removable H4 bulb. (I re-used the headlamp from the ratty Vetter fairing with which my bike was afflicted.)

I still had the original mounting ears on my bike. If you don't, scroll down a little further to find these for sale.

If your bike had a smaller headlight, you might need the 6-1/2" headlight further down the page.

It's generally not worth farting around buying rusty junk from eBay. It seems like they're always badly corroded and broken inside. However, you might seek out a headlamp assembly from a later model, like an SV650 or GS500, if it will fit your bike.

Here's what the headlight looks like on my GS850:
