Are all the starters the same for these bikes

[BriTXbike]

I may need to replace mine on my 850 and thought about looking the ebay route but was wondering if all these bikes use the same Starter or are they different?

If not Stockers.com looks to be a good one for a rebuilt unit.

Nope...not all GS are the same...if you look at Stockers.com the part
numbers are different for some and same for others.

Their are alot of two brush starters that will also work as long as it is from a 750 or bigger it will work

You may want to check with some local starter/ alternator shops. Around here, some won't even talk about motorcycle starters, others will fix you right up.
