will gauges from L work on a G?

[swisherred]

Have a 1982 gs850G...really like the placement of the fuel gauge and having a gear position indicator...what do I need to do to put these on my G model?

Look under your sprocket case cover and see if you have a see through plastic circular type deal with wires coming out of it. If you don't gear indicator isn't even an option.

Is this question stated correctly?

What year and model of bike were the guages on originally?

What year and model of bike do you want to put them on?

A 1982 GS850G comes with fuel guage and gear indicator. Does yours have aftermarket guages?

bike specs

the bike I have is a 1982 gs850G..all stock. It has the fuel gauge in the tach, but no gear indicator that I saw...will check again. I just really liked the layout of the L model and might be getting an L model tank since mine has several holes in it. will check on the sprocket cover.

The GL model tank won't fit your G frame -- the tank is much smaller.

I have '80 and '82 850Gs. On the '82 all the indicator lights (oil, neutral, high beam, side stand, and gear) are in a separate unit that sits between the speedo and tach. The gear light window extends horiziontally across the top of the face. It may be that something is wrong in the circuit feeding the indicator. I would not think all 5 gear lights would be burned out.

i know this much, you can swap out glasses all the way from a 550 too 1000. I have done it. Now what you may or not get is one may have a fuel indicator and another might not. junk like that. But it does take some messing around too do it.

I have a 81 GS850L, ordered 82 GS850G gauge set off Ebay and it had larger gauges, and the mounting bracket was a different angle, not able to fit over the ignition cylinder. The mounting bracket from my bike was not large enough to fit the new gauges. I had switch guts in the gauges to get my gauges working properly.
