You'll have to get a gsx-r wiring diagram and have a look how the tacho is fired (or someone more knowledgeable on gsx-r electronics to post), I suspect you may be lucky and it will be set up to count the ignitiion pulses and display them as a tacho reading. Have a look at the wiring diagram and see if it hooks straight to one of the coil LT leads, in which case all the isolating things are probally inside the tach, then you could hook it up the same.

Krash,
I finally got the rest of the parts together to finish my mods. I'll be adapting my GSXR guages soon. You should have the + and - power supply lines going to the tach and most likely a black and yellow signal wire coming from the ignitor box. The GS power lines should be grey for + and black/white for -. The GSXR tach, at least mine, has a black/white which should be negative. I am just guessing that the black/red is positive and black/orange is signal. I haven't confirmed this yet. I am going to look through the forum and see if I can find a GSXR owner with a wiring diagram to see if I'm right. I'll get back with you on it. I'm still at the same email address if you want to stay in touch. Did you do any of the suspension mods you were considering?

Thanks billy, you always seem to have the answers I need. My old computers hard drive disintegrated and I lost all my email addresses and all, so I do not have yours any longer, or I prob. would have emailed you directly. anyway I havent put the front end on yet, been busy with my brothers new aquisition. a blue and white GS550E 83. almost a twin to my 86. about the front end: I am not sure the 89 GSXR 1100 forks have enough room to mount the clip ons above the top triple without bottoming the wheel on the pipes. If I run it stock style with the bars under the top clamp I will have to modify/lose the stock fairing and headlight or adapt another 1. And I havent gotten a hold of a complete rear end yet either, but I am still looking. I did come across a 84 GS1150? ES for sale, around $1500.00 its very tempting (1 owner, garaged, around 15k miles)
but thats aboout it.

thanks for the info on the gauges and keep me posted. my email is listed. have fun and drive rapidly

Pete

Krash,
My solution for bars was to get a set of clamps so I could use tubular bars. I drilled up from the bottom of the top clamp through one set of holes where the guages mount for a pilot hole with a small bit. Using the samll bit kept me from tearing up the threads for the guages. Then from the topside I drilled and tapped the right size for the bar clamps. I still have enough threads for the guages to mount to. If I had used clip-ons they'd have banged into the tank.

I've submitted a question on a Gixxer forum about this. Hopefully I'll get a reply.

Krash,
I finally sat down and figured out the wiring problem. The black wire with the red tracer on the GSX-R tach is the signal wire. Hook it up to the black/yellow wire from your ignitor. The black/orange wire on the tach is positive power and the black/white tach wire is ground. Hook the ground up to its own supply. At first I had mine hooked up to a cluster of grounds and the tach would go to 7000 rpm for some reason as soon as the key was turned on. Once I gave it its own ground the tach worked right.
