    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

11EZ gear indicator light?

As it was delivered in 1982, did the gear indicator on a GS1100e have a backlight, or some other way to make it visible at night?

I'm wondering because I've bought several on this sight (one for $40!), none of which light up like the rest of the gauges.
 
My 1982 GS1100EZ gear indicator lights up. I purchased the bike a year ago and the previous owner replaced the indicator with a new Suzuki indicator.
 
What Shadow said..
Back when i had mine (mid 90s), the bulb died. i opened up the cluster and found the bulb was soldered to a circuit board or something along those lines. I bought a 12v bulb, which looked similar to an old mag lite bulb, unsoldered the old one and soldered the replacement on. It worked for the rest of the time that i owned it.

I replaced the incandescent bulb with a white LED.
