    1979 gs750l. Wire size gauge used for the majority of wires in 1979 harness??

    Hi

    Can someone tell me what was the wire size gauge used for the majority of the wires in the original
    1979 harness?? I am replacing some of the wire connections with Posi-Lock connectors and I need to
    know if I should get 14-16 gauge wire connectors or 18-24 gauge wire connectors.

    Thanks for the input.

    I wouldn't go smaller than 16awg for anything short of an LED dash light. But then most of my original harness is in a box on a shelf. 18-24 Guage is for phone lines and data cables.

      Much of the bike is wired with either 16 or 18 gauge wire, with the occasional larger one, where necessary.

        Yea there no reason to go over 16 gs for most connectors.
