wiring diagram question

Downloaded Bikecliff's full color wiring harness diagram for the 1980 GS1000G/GL. It differs a bit from the one in the factory service manual in that there is a notation on the diagram that says "modification". The drawing in the factory service manual has a separate regulator and rectifier while the Bikecliff's shows an integrated regulator/rectifier. Obviously the wiring will be a bit different.

My question is this... does the older wiring harness have the wires that were installed for a separate regulator and rectifier? Mine appears to have the old separate regulator and rectifier wires BUT has a combo reg/rec and it is obviously the original to the bike.

Just curious. TIA
 
Didn't they stop using the separate R/R in 79? Perhaps when your bike was assembled in 1980 they used an older harness.
 
The 1980 GS1000G/GL has a single R/R. The wiring diagram on the Bikecliff site has the modification for removing the loop through the headlight bucket from one of the stator legs already drawn in. It simply routes the three stator wires directly to the R/R. It's a very usefull mod that should be implemented, if not already.
