which wiring harness

[WVRockMan]

I am going to replace the wiring harness on my 79 gs 1000e and was wondering what other bikes harness's will work? Does any one have one foe sell fairly cheap? It doesnt have to be perfect, just one that will not envolve me rewireing it from from to back. The one that is on it now has been burnt and butchered. Any and all help is appreciated.

I have a harness from a 80 GS750E and one from a 82 GS850GL.
Im not sure what it would take to get either of them to work.
Maybe someone else does...

Lemme know if you're interested.

Any one else have any input? Or have a harness at a resonable price that is an exact match. Come on I know your out there.

Hi,

Don't forget to post in the "Parts Wanted" section and look around on Ebay. Check my website for a procedure to cross-reference part numbers.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Someone posted a thread about GS1000 wire harnesses a week or so ago and when checking ebay I found about half a dozen different harnesses that would be a direct swap. I suggest you head over and search "GS1000 harness". Good luck.

This one is from a 1000G but it will require a fair bit of rework in order to work... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/81-Su...4506.m20.l1116

i have found several as well on ebay. The ones that look the best al seems to be for a 750. I am guessing that they would be a direct fit if they are of the 76, 77, 78, 79 models years? I was also looking to go as cheap as I could while still getting a decent harness. Just trying to pinch pennies.

Not sure if they are a direct bolt on or not. You might want to compare the wire harness diagrams in the service manual and compare part numbers. I suspect a 750 harness would work but details like the plug for the instrument cluster may be different and/or, where the plugs are at for the regulator, etc may be different as well. The GS1000 has a fuel gauge right, and no gear indicator? The 750 has a gear indicator but no gauge I think. Honestly, I'm not familiar with these models, just trying to stimulate the thought process.

BTW, I adapted a 1000G harness to work in my 1000S. I had to switch over plugs for the IP and coils, extend the tail light harness run, and play around with various other wires until everything achieved a happy fit. It was a lot of work but was unavoidable since a proper harness was not available. You would be ahead of the curve if you just find the right harness to begin with.
