    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Hello,
Does anyone know if there are universal bar controls as in turn signal, lights, ignition button for the left and right sides?
I am trying to find new controls/switches for a 82-83 GSX 400 but they no longer make them.
Would GS500 later models be compatible? I would love something that is almost a straight swap or at least something with minimal altering. They are also going to be fitted to clip on bars if that is must know info.
Thanks in advance,
Chris.
 
I'm fairly sure you'll find the GS500 controls will fit physically, but how good are you at figuring out and doing the necessary electrical jiggery, because the connectors will surely differ.
Example, I was pleased to find the GS500 throttle sleeve is a perfect fit inside my GS850 right hand control block, and when the other original switchgear wears out, I'll just replace the lot with GS500 items.
 
There are lots of options for switchgear on fleabay if you look around. As Grimly says, fitting on the bars is no problem, but you will have to rewire one side of the connection because nothing is going to match the existing Suzuki harness.
