Hi 'rider,Originally posted by perurider View Post
any round headlight off an XS series bike should plug straight on, as will the aftermarket ones from MikesXS.
You may have problems cramming all the wire and connectors in though and may have to get creative about that.Fred Hill, S'toon

Hey Fred, don't you have to change the "ears" ? Standards (square healight) are at an angle around 45 degrees whereas specials are at 90.1980 SG. (Sold - waiting on replacement)

headlight ears
The standard ears are a little short and the back of the shell is back into the instruments. If you get the special ears, the tubes around the forks are about 1/2" too long. I wrapped a piece of tape around the tube at the cut line, and cut them down with a dremel and cutting disk.1980 Yamaha XS1100G Lowered, 4-2 , Pods , Jets
