A skunk in the works

I too have absolutely now doubt that bike was 100% unmolested OR cared for..HA HA.

Chuck I wish I could explain how they got like that. I can't tell you for sure the ears that were the on my GS1000EC were on it from the factory. All I do know is they were the exact same bends that were on my 80 GS850G from the factory, which came with a 7 inch headlight and they appeared as rusted as the rest of the bike, which leads me to believe they were original ears to the bike.

When and why do you suppose these doglegged ones found their way to the bikes Dale?? I did give a set of the doglegged ones i took off to Frank Z and he used them on his Cooley....wonder if thats the deal?? In fact i gave him two sets!!!

[rustybronco]

Fresh off the press...

I didn't see pics in your previous post.Yea these are the wrong ears.Lots of cursing I will leave out the

[chuck hahn]

And if I recall Gregs style is whats on the bikes that i had gotten..and the one thats left...

[chuck hahn]

Dales look like they squat in at the light, while yours look like the dogleg is by the forks...exactly the oppposite to me!!!

EDIT..or straight and just the dish for the bolt.

Greg, no they don't. I was going to tell you that dog leg was the difference between what they should be like and what you have on it now.

The light that came on my GS1000EC is a 7 inch headlight and is (was) correct for that model. Greg's GS1000C came with a 7 inch headlight from the factory as well.

Dale do the ears have the dogleg like these ones?

Let me take the pics tomorrow of my mod and the bike with the 6 incher on it..Like i said too..theres a very noticeable gap between the top of the bucket and the bottom of the guages with the 6 incher that isnt there with a 7 inch?? Then again, depending on how soon you want it, i can give you the 6 inch stuff. Im only gonna throw it in the dumpster when i take it off..your call. Maybe send you the 6 inch stuff and you can fit it and if you dont like you can toss it.

I know theres one more for me to mod and I have the 750 ears set aside.. Frank Z has my burrs and the air die grinder. The bike has the setup it came with still on it..like I said, pics tomorrow.

[rustybronco]

Dale...what was the OEM size of the one on your bike???? Or should i say, was the configurations right on yours and what size was the light?? That pic of it at my house may show the gap at the top that i was talking about because it was taken from the side..maybe repost it so i can take a looksy.
