1977 GS750 Electrical Upgrades

[Guest]

Hey there folks,
Just about to start putting my 77 GS750 back together, and am concerned about my electrical system. It appears one of the POs did some modifications to the wiring harness and who knows what else. My intent is to return this harness back to its original condition, but with upgraded/modern components. I'm savvy enough to repair the wires in the harness. I also know how to read/follow the electrical diagram in my manual.
What I need help with, is finding the right modern/upgraded parts that I can use with this bike.

Which generator should I get (if any)?

Which R/R?

What else should I look into replacing? Headlight; which one?

How much rewiring will I be looking at? Are there upgraded parts out there that I can just bolt on and plug in?
Thanks for the help!

Also, I plan on running heated riding gear on this bike this coming fall/winter. Ive got 3 bikes and no car with no intention of buying one, so I gotta make do with what I have.

See the various links on electrical upgrades in my Signature.

Here are my recommendations:

If the bike is running: Do the "Quick test" and report the results and we will have an idea where you are starting from

If not then:
Read about GS Stator (in my signature) for new R/R options

The read GS Charging health for an over view of charging improvements for R/R connections and grounds.

Then read about the Solid State Power Box and see if you want to dive into that.

A Series R/R and the SSPB will put you light years ahead of where you are.

Changing out all of your signal lights for LED's will get about an extra 5 amps to use for other accessories.

Start there.
