gs1100gk wiring question.

[theliverkid]

So I will doing a simplified rewire on the ol GS. There are 2 small black 2x2 boxes on the side of the battery tray and a larger 4x4 one behind my fuse block. They all have conectors coming from them. what do they control. I have been to bascliffs site and am still reading. I Still am wondering what tells the coils to fire and where its located

The 2x2s are your turn signal flasher and the turn signal flasher control unit (no, they don't do the same thing) and the 4x4 is likely your ignitor.

The ignitor is what tells the coils when to fire.

Well, technically, the signal pickups on the end of the crank tell the ignitor when to switch the current from the coils, but you get the idea.
