1982 GS1100 GL (Z) Oil pressure/Kick stand/ indicators....

[b717doc]

Trying to re-assemble gauge/instrument cluster...have 3 bulbs left over with wires....wire colors/wiring diagram from Clymer tell me that one is for oil pressure, the other for "kickstand", and another one I can't remember now that I am at work......Can't see anywhere on cluster that these bulbs plug into!!! Where in the heck do these plug into??? Where is the oil pressure indicator on these bikes??? Baffled at this point.

I think these would be similar to my bike (GS850). The oil-pressure light is in the tach housing and the kick-stand light is in the speedo housing.

There's only one hole in either the speedo and tach, and that's for the background lighting.....NOWHERE do I see where these bulbs plug into.....

Maybe someone changed your cluster??? The parts pages shows your
bike as having 1 bulb in the speedo and 3 in the tach. Maybe if you
post a pic of the cluster we could identify it.

You are absolutely right, per alpha-sports, there are 2 additional sockets in the tach, but on mine, which appear to be all original, definitely does not have those sockets in the tach.....Everything looks identical to the diagram with the exception of the tach indicator.....those lights in the lower portion are simply not there......The data plate on the bike is stamped 1982, and states it is a GS1100GL (Z), So....still baffled....

Here's the stock guages for the 82 GS1100GLZ.

Thanks for the excellant picture Alan, this is exactly what I needed, however, my gauges are not configured like this. There are no little "windows" like yours for the indications......Don't know what the heck is going on.....thinking about just doing without these indications as opposed to paying premium prices for new gauges.......Thanks again....

Like I said before...some PO may have replaced the tach with what
ever was available at the time....try e-bay and see what you can find,
should'nt be much $$.

Are you saying all the listed bikes here have the indicators in the gauges?

 

[Alan Schlosser]

Bret could be right. Check this out on eBay. I don't see the kickstand light in the speedo, but the tach looks right.

This could be exactly what you need. And starts at 14.99. Maybe I'll bid if you're not interested. :wink:

That list is for the tach only and should be the same for the
bikes listed. 8) They are all the same part # and should be just
like the one pictured above.

Here you go......... on eBay.
