Headlight Ring GL1000

[sunnbobb]

Since the only seller on ebay wants $325 for a headlight setup, I decided I had enough!

I spent an hour going through a motorcycle junk pile with an empty GL1000 headlight bucket.

So here it is: 1980 CX500 headlight ring fits perfectly. Maybe other years, but that was the only ring in the place.

I know your frustration! My next bike is going to be NEW!

Jeez I would sell you one for just $300

unless you are doing a resto, you can use any headlight assembly that fits between the ears. a pal of mine just put a headlight assy. from a honda v 65 magna onto his 1983 1100...looks like it was oem equipment...and with better chrome. the hell with the ring, change the whole thing.....T

I'm with you there, the cx ring is only 15 bucks and looks identical to the original gl one.

I had the bucket & ordered the missing retaining rings from Frenchy.
It was an affordable option.

Well it seems all the vendors I know of are out of stock on the reproduction ring sets for my 76 goldwing so if you have a source that has em please pass it along
