    84 1150 Chassis w/ 82 1100 Engine Wiring

    Opinions requested please!
    Well, I feel this should have come to me already but I cannot figure out the details.I figure I'm getting daffy in my old age. Maybe my brain is full.
    I have a 1984 GS1150 chassis that I have put a 1982 GS1100 engine in. Naturally, wiring is different. The 1100 engine came from my old Katana which was running and all electrical was good. Should I use the Kat's wiring harness on the 1150 chassis or is there a way to use the 1150's harness with the 1100 engine? I'd like to keep the 1150 harness as the clocks and ignition switch plug in nice.
    It's getting warmer here in Colorado and I've been dragging my heels on this project for a year and a half. I really need to get this old scooter back on the road again.
    Any detailed assist would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    I would use the 1150 harness, the only things that may be different are the ignition wires , and you could probably use the 1150 ignition, pickups I would guess. the stator will wire the same, and I don't know if the 1150 has a gear position or just a neutral light but those switches could be swapped over also I would guess.

    If it isn't going to make it faster or safer it isn't worth doing
