Re: 1978 GL1000 Parts
Do you have the rear turn signals and are they round or square?

Yes, I have two rear rectangular style and lots of the round type. I also have one front rectangular and another rectangular that is broken but I have a spare chrome stem to replace it. Please send me a PM if you want them.

Re: 1978 GL1000 Parts
Correct '78 is round. Correct '79 is square. But both were parts-bin at the change-over. You can lens for both signals (Partzilla or parts-n-more, can't remember).

Re: 1978 GL1000 Parts
I am sure I have these parts but I agree, you would be better off ordering new ones as they are inexpensive.

Re: 1978 GL1000 Parts
Any chance you still have those side covers? Dropped a bag of tools on my battery cover this morning
