wiring 1100 g

[Ronbayless]

not sure what year the 1100 is that I have. Its at a friends house and dont have the engine engravings, frame, vin to look at.I think they were made 80 to 84. The former owner completely hacked the wiring harness. A smart friend of mine hooked up enough for it to start and run. It needs the pods off, airbox put bak on after I buy one, then stock jets. I have an 850 G parts bike. I know the airbox wont work. I think the 850 has 32mm and the 1100 has 36. If I pull the harness from the 850 would it work on the 1100? The 850 sat out for over 20 years so even as a parts bike its not great.On my 80 gs 1000 I looked inside the headlight bucket and a jillion wires were there. I saw a article on chopper wiring but doubt I could do that. I just need ignition, coils, regulator, rectifier, headlight tailight and brakelight and horn to work. The former owner didnt just cut some wires, he took a handful and snipped them all off the same length.so I have to have a harness. ebay has sone for 80 to 130 dollars. I also will use a bunch of good grounds and a 4 gauge battery cable if possible. I remember black wire with white stripe is a ground wire, and solid brown, not chocolate but tan were usually hot wires.Ignition on hot. Is that correct? Thanks for all input.
