    Gear indicator switch location on motor, 1983 GS1100E

    Okay collective intellect, where on my girl is the gear indicator switch located? I have looked on the wiring diagram but...no mention of location. I just picked up a new one and need to know where it goes. Thanks.

    1980 Sears "Free Spirit" bicycle (original patina and everything!)
    1978 "The Executive" RV (vintage like its owner)

    How can I be in two places at once when i'm not anywhere at all?

    Can I double park in a parallel universe?

    Did you ever get a real manual?

      Thanks Posplayr, and I have not yet gotten my manual. I want an original owners manual and either a factory service manual or Clymer'Haynes, just have not done it yet. I do have a pdf of the service manual I found online but I prefer a real paper edition.

        Yep, you gotta get the bike on a lift or down on the floor to see it.

        Make sure you install it with a new o-ring.

          the switches are still available. I bought a gear indicator off eBay and installed it so I can see what gear I'm in. (Keep in mind I'm talking about my sidecar.)
