    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...

Hello, i have a 82 GS1100GLZ that im currently thinking about rewiring, but ive heard about this german device called an M-Unit that kinda acts like simplifier. I wasnt sure if anyone had used this before and liked it. And if anyone has, was it worth it? Or would it be easier for me to just buy new relays and other OEM electrics? Any feedback is much appreciated.

Since you?re new to bikes (and young), probably be easier to get it back to stock wiring setup. Used wiring harnesses are usually easy to find - better than dealing with PO?s creativity
 
To answer your question, yes, a few here have tried the M-Unit. There have been mixed results.

The M-Unit comes in a couple different 'flavors' which might make a difference on which one to choose, but Tom is right, it's best to get it running first, just to make sure that it does, in fact, WORK. Your own patch-up on the wiring does not have to be pristine, as long as it is electrically sound. I don't know how adapting an M-Unit to the bike would make wiring it any easier, as there have been considerable challenges in every story I have seen here.

.
 
So the bike works, it runs great, just has a few oil leaks that im tryna patch and just some TLC that needs to be done. One of the only major things that needs to be fixed is the wiring harness. It works but the current one is ugly and a mess from all the other extras that other people have spliced in. Im tryna make my bike look clean and i want the wire harness to look super clean. I was wondering then if there are any sort of upgrades i can put into the wiring harness. The current fuse box is a little old and missing its cover.
