Any reason this would't fit my 96gs?

I crashed my bike beginning of this week and am trying to find a headlight at the moment. All I've seen for oem is busted units on ebay so I was looking at some of the aftermarket stuff.

Any red flags pop for anyone on this unit?

I know the build quality will likely be minimal but that's not my biggest concern atm.

Thanks for your help as usual guys!

Is that thing actually legal where you are  :icon_eek:

Just speculation, but 35w is going to be really low I would've thought and because it's a cheap unit, increasing the bulb wattage may prove to be too much heat for the lens and surrounding plastics. If you do go this route, possibly utilise the stock GS headlamp bracket if possible as I've used those little clamps that come with it and they're rubbish, very flimsy and had to wrap with electrical tape to get it to grip the fork!

Yah these are the things I was worried about, Gonna go for a slightly more expensive aftermarket headlight I can count on the quality of a bit

Smil3ey might have a good headlight from a 96. Check the 4 sale section.
