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...

I have a mint 1981 GS1000GL , long story short , I am looking for an OEM wiring harness for it . I have found a used harness but I would prefer a new one . I have searched all over the world with no success can anyone out there help me .
 
Looking for a brand new harness for a 39 year-old motorcycle? ...gee. Good luck. What's wrong with the one that came with the bike?
 
Ah so. Well, a 39 year old harness on my bikes is still flexible and good. Being under the tank and seat preserves it...so a replacement from the scrapyard or ebay will be it..but be of course, be careful to get a decent match. It might help to look at a parts fiche to see what other bikes might use the same harness- the previous year, a slightly different model, a GS850? etc. An L like yours MIGHT have a different length to the handlebar switches...
start here , but be sure you really have a "1981 GS1000GL". If they call it something else, check the handlebars and seat for a visible match.

be sure to click the name on the parts list- it will tell you which bikes use the same part.

UNLESS you want to fix the one you have.
of course This'll work(I have a bike that came with the same problem) but keeping the colour code of the wiring if there's a lot burned, gets pricey....one or two is not so bad and I would choose repair vs spare. Rewrapped, no-one will know except you.
 
Wiring melted because of a worn wire that shorted....
How bad. Do you have photos?

I've repaired many a burnt/cut/damaged harness. Often easier than finding, and replacing, the original.
