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.

Yes, but you will have to make an adapter.
If, for some reason, it happens that it's not a good r/r, contact Duaneage (member on GSR) for a replacement.
By the way, something in your question does not match. If the bike is an '85, it would be an EF. If it's an ED for sure, it would be an '83. :-k
I just looked at the fiche for the '83 and the '85. There was no 700 ED in '83, so you must have an '85 700 EF. Either way, both of them have an r/r that has five tabs sticking out the side for the electrical connections, the '82 1100 uses a separate plug, so you will have to make an adapter.

Well thank you!! ANd you are correct, it is an EF. What color wires connect to what color wires though?

I used a 1100/1150 model, if you read my old thread youll find out why ! LOL Anyway IF and I mean IF i have to relace it again I will use the late model ??? I would have to look up the thread but so far the larger one from the GS1100/1150 has worked great warm to the touch and regulating just like the orginal OE, I have noticed a few spikes but I'm sure thats another issue with Grounds/conn that will be repaired this winter. The Reg was cheap of Flea-Bay... There are soooo many threads on this site (Hondas/Yahmahas/Suzukis..Etc Just do a quick search R/R and wait and see how many threads...

Not sure what colors you have there, or what the terminals are on the 'new' r/r, but you should match function rather than color.
The electrons can't see what color insulator is on the wire, they only go where they can.
Generally, a stock GS r/r will have a red wire and a black wire (with a white stripe) that might even be slightly larger than the other three, and that go to the battery, then three wires the come from the stator. Looking at the wiring diagram (page 32) in the 700 manual on BassCliff's site, I see that the three stator wires are all yellow. Connect those wires to the yellow, white/red and white/blue wires on the 1100's r/r.
