Just bought an 81 gs750e and the charging system doesn't work. I found a 81 gs750L for sale as a parts bike. Will the stator and rectifier work on my bike?

Be advised that most riders would replace these parts with aftermarket items. They are far more reliable. I've never had a charging problem, but hopefully others will confirm what I say.
I'd say it makes much more sense to buy a new aftermarket r/r and stator, then an old, original charging system. Who knows how long that would even last. If it's a parts bike, does it run? You should test the charging system on a running bike.
Keep in mind that 9 times out of 10 the real cause of a stator or r/r failure is bad connections to them. So even if you replace the components, make sure you clean and check every connector, ground and wire for corrosion, burning or breaks.

Definitely weigh the cost of the parts vs the cost of the parts bike. If you are just buying it for the R/R and stator, (which you don't know for sure whether or not they will work) I would pass it up. On the other hand, if the parts bike has good tires, rims, chain and sprocket as well... it might be worth throwing $50 - $100 at it. Otherwise you'll just end up with a pile o' junk eyesore in your garage or living room.
