I just bought my GS from my brother in law, mint condition, only 19k miles. But in my part of the country, unless it's summer you take a beating without a windshield. Also, with the traffic here, you need to be seen. Can anyone recommend any amber aux. lights? Especially, how to mount them? Also, a windshield, not too tiny or huge, just something moderate to take the bulk of the wind off me?

Lights lights......
McPapa:
I had a 79 1000 and indeed i did put two rectangular driving lights on it.
I mounted the lamps vertically on the two bolts for the motor mounts just next to the headers ......being as they were mounted vertical they looked good, but the pattern that is suppose to be wide & flat now was a vertical stripe .......worked OK.......lit up the front wheel kinda cool......but the pattern needed some adjusting to best suit.
The electrical system held up just fine with the 55W bulbs it had on it....

You could put in an 50/100 Watt headlight. I've gotten the feeling that the higher power low beams available (80Watt) may actually work as a tractor beam on other vehicles. It's bright enough during daylight hours that people appear to get mesmorized by the thing and drive towards you... That's just my impression though.

Funny you should write this, Ive observed the same phenomena. When I see a bike with an extremely bright headlamp, I cannot actually judge the distance of the bike as the light almost blinds me!Originally posted by srivettComment

For the 'windshield', it's tough to beat the National Cycle Plexifairing. Just be really careful cleaning it. No matter what you buy, it'll scratch easily.Comment

As an added comment to the last post, all plasitcs should be cleaned with a plastic polish and cleaner, windex and other glass cleaners have an abrasive in it that helps brake up dirt but on plastic it will scrath it.
