headlamp

[j.man]

Hey guys. Im new to this site as of five minutes ago. I own two goldwings a 76 gl1000 and a 83 gl1100. These are my first bikes so I dont know a whole lot about them and I have so many questions and ideas I dont even know where to start. For now I want to focus on the 83 cause the 76 needs the motor rebuilt. My main concern to start is jus gettin it on the road. The fairing was missing on it so I need to get a head lamp for it and I dont know what the diameter the forks are so I can get brakets what size headlamp to get and could someone tell me what a good brand battery is best for these monsters... and please believe me I will be on here with alot more I fell in love with these bikes I just need a little direction.

Welcome from Southern California! Sounds like you have a couple of good projects going there - enjoy! If you haven't already looked, there are parts and service manuals in the Gallery, and I'm sure someone will be along here with the info you need. Ebay is a great source for used parts for these bikes, plus you can post a thread of what you need in the "For Sale Or Wanted" section here. Best of luck to you, and let's see those bikes of yours!

Welcome to the fun. Might be a fairing close to you if you want one. If you want the standard look this thread had the same goal.

Welcome to Classics from PA! I think the forks are 39mm's and the headlight bucket is 7". If you want Stock, they are out there, but costly. Take a look at this dealer in the Vendor Section: https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=7361 They have had them every time I have looked.
