I don't believe there is a '78 GS450.1980/1981 GS450 - GS500 Cylinder + Piston Swap - "De-L'ed", custom seat, CB350 bits, 18" rear, etc.

But any GS450 wiring harness would not be a direct replacement1980/1981 GS450 - GS500 Cylinder + Piston Swap - "De-L'ed", custom seat, CB350 bits, 18" rear, etc.

2. Locate the part # for the wiring harness part(s) you need
3. Look up part # to see which other models also used the exact same part (PartZilla has this for some parts I believe).1982 GS850GL - Shaved seat foam and new seat cover; Daytona handlebars and Tusk risers; Puig "Naked" Windscreen\
1978 KZ200 - Mostly original, hydraulic front brake swap, superbike bars; purchased at 7k original miles
Track bike project: 2008 Hyosung frame w/ 97 gs500E engine swap (in progress)

The GS450 is physically smaller, the harness wouldn't be long enough.1980/1981 GS450 - GS500 Cylinder + Piston Swap - "De-L'ed", custom seat, CB350 bits, 18" rear, etc.

If you're going to hack it up anyway, you can probably make it work . Again I don't know of GS450's that were made pre-1980 so they are electric ignition only going to the igniter box. Depending on the year GS1000, it could have points so that would be a big difference in how it's wired. The bigger bikes also had extra safety features (clutch, kickstand switches) as well as self cancelling turn signals, etc. in some cases.1980/1981 GS450 - GS500 Cylinder + Piston Swap - "De-L'ed", custom seat, CB350 bits, 18" rear, etc.
