    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.

Neutral Indicator Light

Hello All,

I threw out the guages for my 79 GS 850 today. Well, not literally threw them out, but have decided not to use them for the bike. I will go to aftermarket ones, to kind of clean up the look of the bike a bit (very subjective I know).

My question: How would I wire up a seperate indictor light for neutral, as the gauges that I will be using don't allow for this display.

Afterall, it is nice to know when your bike is in neutral right? :lol:
 
I'm not familiar with your guages. Does the indicator just have a light plugged into the back of the guage or is it internal? If it has a light plugged nto the back that's the start for n indicator. At any rate all you have to do is locate the wires that power that indicator then hook up a small led and find a place to mount it. The red led's show up best in daylight.

Thanks Billy,

Now that I'm reading your response I feel a little foolish about my question. Afterall, it's a straight forward question, responded to with a simple answer! :D I don't know why I did't think of that myself. :roll:

But the real question is why am I spending so much time on this board?
I think I need to get a life! No wait, I think I just need to get the bike finished and go out for a long ride! :wink:


Thanks

p.s. Maybe when I get the courage I will post a picture of
strange looking GS
 
The neutral light is turned on when it is grounded thru the gear position switch-- blue wire
