    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.

The wires that you need to concern yourself with are:
Light green is RIGHT turn signal
Solid black is LEFT turn signal
Black with white stripe is ground

If the front signals that you install have a 'running light' feature, that would be powered by a brown or gray wire at the front. Not sure about the GK, but other G bikes have double bullets on the wire so you can simply plug both lights in in the headlight bucket. However, the GK did not have a headlight bucket that close, so I don't know how they were wired.

I found the turn signals Steve. Green taped with its ground and black with its ground.
I measured them with the voltage meter and they are getting power. They just aren't hooked up to anything.
I also found out that they are the same color on the front wiring group. Green and black. So now to order some turn signals and wire them in.

However...

It looks like the PO along with some other wiring ad ons wired the back tail light in. After taking out the fender and tial light it doesn't work anymore. Guess I will put a new one on. Maybe I can wire a group together and clean up this mess.

I did find that these two gray wires are the only ones going to the tail light. So they must be the tail light wires.
Deductive reasoning lol.

The stock front tire would be a 100/90-19 in today's tire sizing.
The stock rear tire would be a 130/90-16.

You are right on the money. Guess it just looked odd in the picture to me.
 
I wonder why the PO didnt just bypass the plug using the plug wires. I found the plug as seen in the picture just hanging out to the side when all the colors match those coming from the taillight. According to my voltage meter the plug works just fine too so what gives I wonder.

Looks as though the PO has bodged up some horrible bent piece of alloy to hold the headlamp bucket in place. It won't last long. Neither will the instrument mount.

Actually it looks and feels pretty stable Grimly. I believe it came off another Suzuki just not this model.

Normally there'd be a kind of triangulated bracket or at least an aftermarket bracket that fits around the upper parts of the stanchions, and is deep enough, top to bottom, to spread the load of the bucket and hold it steady. On strap either side won't do a lot for long.
 
I appreciate the info. I will see if I can find a more suitable set up. May find something that looks better anyway.
