You can use the ears from an XS 750, or 850 Special. I'm not sure if the 750-850 Standard is the same though. I have 850SG ears and bucket on my bike. -
thanks john, yeah i think i'm going to convert to the rounds on my standard, so only the special would apply, did the standard 750 use square headlights?Originally posted by John

yes but i think the standard had shorter ears less raked out, the special put the headlight higher, showing more legs i mean fork legs."a good man knows his limitations" dirty harry

If you get rid of that fugly gas tank, square gauges and long ass mufflers, and replace them with Special pieces, you'd have a really nice looking bike..

I removed the fairing from my 78E and mounted the headlight from a special. All the parts came from ebay. The special ears were too long to fit between the triple clamps, so I shortened them by grinding, carefully. Hope this helps.Comment

Well i used to agree with John ,,Specials look great
Thing is the Clocks ain't got the Fuel Guage and it's nice to have one
The pipes are nice on a Special no getting away from that
European Standard Gas Tank is what you want for even more capacity !!
extra half gallon i think ?? gives it Monster looks too !!Don't put all yer eggs into one basket ,,,caseComment
