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.

Hey all,

Looking for advice , tips, video on what electrical I can remove from a 1981 gs850g. Essentially at the end of the day I would like to have....

1. Signals
2. Headlight
3. Ignition
4. Brake light
5. Speedo.


I am certainly not an electrical expert and find wiring diagrams to be confusing. That said I am willing to learn and take my time.

Thought? Appreciate any advice thats avaliable.

What you're saying is you want to remove the oil pressure light and the gear indicator? There's really not much else on there.

You will likely want to keep your charging system.

Start by spending a few hours reading about electricity and wiring. It really is simple stuff once you understand it.
 
Thanks for the tip and will do. I am doing away with the original instrument cluster and going with a single speedo no tach or instrument guages.
 
Essentially I would like to do away with the instrument guages and clean it up to be a single speedo +/- warning lights. My thought was I would trace back to the fuse panel the wiring harness for the instrument cluster and remove it. Just didn't know if this would affect the function of the rest of the bike?
