I did want the larger fuel tank anyways. But the decision was made for me when I was told the tank was on a 6-8 week backorder.
Looks like I'll be cutting off the seat mount tonight and moving forward.

Is anyone able to post a picture of the rear side of the headlight?
I think I have a pretty good idea of how everything else goes together, but I am a little baffled by the headlight assembly.
Specifically it's mounting points.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Are you talking about the rubber straps that mount the headlight to the forks?

Well it sure looks to me like there should be rubber straps to hold it to the forks.
But when I looked at the parts fiche I didn't see any shown

So then I started wondering if I was missing something???

Maybe number 7 on that list, "RUBBER SECURIN HEADLAMP" ?

Hmmm Possibly. It seems to me that it should show one on each side and they should be larger, but the picture may just be garbage.

I would not call the picture "garbage", but it does follow the standard GasGas parts book practice of getting all the pieces in the photo, proportion be damned.
For example:
I had the darndest time finding the part number of the replacement top bushing's for the original style chain guide bracket by looking at the parts books. In the photos, it looked a washer, not a bushing.
It's part #37 in this photo:

In the 2001 parts book, it was a little better, but still was not so easy to recognize: (It's still part #37 in the photo, just more in proportion and in the approximate location this time. )

OK thanks everyone. It has been almost 3 days since I have had to order anything from GoFasters, they should maybe just run a ups truck straight from there to my house
Another of my favorite "quirks" about the gasgas parts fiche is that some of the parts are listed in english and others are listed in spanish

Thanks. Unfortunately the straps on my 99' were shot and the headlight was held on with zip ties when I bought it. So I'll need to get new ones.

Nope think it is just an illusion (ooo ah aha aahha!) the pipe is almost new.
@desertgasser300 i agree, i considered getting a white 2010 front end (as i think it was nicer) but in the end $$ decided

its a pity i did not have the energy to take a pic of it standing at the top of a mountain the other day - surrounded by pumpkins the GG really was the belle of the ball
(a selfie of the riders would have painted a completely opposite picture!)

All the plastics on my subframe were hanging off and worn well out of spec rattling around with every vibe/bump. They've lasted a LONG time though so I can't complain.
Went ahead and gave everything a good clean and put half of the cervantes kit on the bike. Still need to put the exhaust, frame guards, and brake pedal bushing back on her. I like it with the 2010 headlight fender. Do you think I should go white handguards and fork guards too? I have them new in the kit! Still need to add swingarm decals!
Shock serviced and slight valving tweak today as well, forks recently, and around 25hrs on the current top end! I've still got a soft spot for the old girl (even with a new one in the shed).
