    Get a wiring diagram for both bikes. Trace what you're looking at from the motor of the 1100, to the frame of the 850, then match up what you need and connect them. You may need to make your own connectors, or move pins within existing connectors.

      If you get both wiring diagrams , it helps to use a highlighter to colour them in and eliminate the common wiring , then you'll be left with only those that need modifying.Goodluck . Cheers,Simon.

        would the wire colors be the same? or do they change?

          They may or may not in different instances. Thats why you need both wiring diagrams.
