Gauge question

[Guest]

I recently bought an 82 GS1100G that came in a few pieces. One of those was the gauge cluster. Every one I have seen so far on the same bike has the fuel gauge in the tach, but mine is in the middle section between the gauges. Is this cluster from another year or model or what?

Here is a pic of mine

It's possible it's from another model. Towards the end they all looked an awful lot alike and I can't tell ya whether those are stock or not. But the easiest way to find out would be to see if the connectors match up to the harness. If not, they can be made to work pretty easily by moving pins around to match the wiring diagram for your bike.

Does this look familiar?

Yea thanks that does look kinda like it. Fortunately, the connectors match up and the lights all work. I still have to rewire the gas gauge though. This bike is starting to make me wonder even more. I noticed on the carbs where the vacuum line is supposed to connect to the petcock, mine has a very factory looking cap on it. Like the carbs came from a bike without a vacuum petcock. I just hope I didn't end up with a cobbled up mess.

L model gauges

Those are the same from the L model bikes that I have. 1981 GS 650GLX and 1981 GS 1000GLX. My 1981 GS 1000G also has that cluster.

Here's one on E-bay, says it's for an '80 GS1100L.

My 1981 GS 1000G also has that cluster.

Those are not G style gauges.

Wouldn't an '82 1100G have a 140 mph speedometer?

Not until '83...

My 82 GS850G has the 85mph variety in it.
