Advice removing wiring gs850g

[Guest]

Hey all,

Looking for advice , tips, video on what electrical I can remove from a 1981 gs850g. Essentially at the end of the day I would like to have....

1. Signals
2. Headlight
3. Ignition
4. Brake light
5. Speedo.


I am certainly not an electrical expert and find wiring diagrams to be confusing. That said I am willing to learn and take my time.

Thought? Appreciate any advice thats avaliable.

That said I am willing to learn and take my time.

What you're saying is you want to remove the oil pressure light and the gear indicator? There's really not much else on there.

You will likely want to keep your charging system.

Start by spending a few hours reading about electricity and wiring. It really is simple stuff once you understand it.

This should get you started. You can add the lights as required. If you do LED, the get a SERIES R/R. See links in my signature.

Thanks for the tip and will do. I am doing away with the original instrument cluster and going with a single speedo no tach or instrument guages.

At the "end of the day", it sure would be nice to have a TAIL light, too.

Yes sir it would.

Essentially I would like to do away with the instrument guages and clean it up to be a single speedo +/- warning lights. My thought was I would trace back to the fuse panel the wiring harness for the instrument cluster and remove it. Just didn't know if this would affect the function of the rest of the bike?
