    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...

    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.

Wiring harness question

I have the opportunity to pick up a NOS harness for a '79 GS750L. Part # 36610-45201.
My bike is a '78 GS750E....I'm wondering if this harness will be suitable to replace the bastardised (non-GS750) harness currently in my bike?
The best number I can get for my bike is 36610-45002 or -45005.
Cheers
Andy
 
For what it's worth, I'm using the wiring harness diagram available here http://gsarchive.bwringer.com/ for my bike and it seems to fit my needs just fine despite being written for a number of different models which leaves me to believe there are only subtle differences between them. These diagrams are drawn in color and makes things a heck of a lot easier!

It'll work fine. There might be a few things different but nothing major, easily workable.
 
Don't know of a difference between 78 and 79. However, I only look at the non L models. My only thought is that the L harness might be longer or shorter in some areas.

Easy fix though so you should be good.

Not sure what's considered good pricing though.

Update: I received the NOS harness (GS750L) and apart from the fuel gauge wiring and the "starter disconnect" wiring the harness will be 100% compatible with my '78 750E! The colour coding is the same, as are the various multi-pin connectors.
As the colder/wet weather months approach, I'll start replacing the existing wiring, as well as replacing fork stanchions and a repaint.
