When I bought the bike the PO had put a round headlight on it and I would like to get the original put back on there. He didn't have the original due to the fairing that was on it when he bought. I'm not sure what this will cost..

The square headlight in the Yamaha fairing is the correct one, so all you need is the plastic bucket. If you want to go whole hog, you'll also need the reflector/headlight bolt assemblies, the front turn mounts (hard to find) and the front turns...Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

Hmm well I guess I just thought that I just needed to mount the regular headlight and bucket on the headlight mounts that are already on that bike..1979 XS1100F

Yes, that looks like the correct headlight mounting ears that you have there now but there Is a reflector on the side of the ears that has been removed and aftermarket turn signals installed in that place instead.Originally posted by Pancala View Post
If you have the actual lens that was in the fairing and it is a rectangle lens then that is the correct lens for it but you would still need a bucket for it.Nathan
