Swapping wiring loom from 83'1100g to 80 1000g

[davidt]

Hi to all,
I have wrecked 1983 gs1100g running(bent forks and frame!- front ender!)and a non running 1980 1000g(motor seized wiring very untidy). I asked a question in the forum a couple of weeks ago re swapping motor of 1100g into 1000g frame and got good response and answers- thankyou.
However wiring is really bad on 1000g( including crank end electrics) and was wondering can I put complete wiring loom of 1100g into 1000g without to much trouble?

Really would appreciate some advice.
I love these bikes I believe they have real appeal and would like to get one on the road.

Thanks Dave

You will have some wires left over (sidestand indicator switch, for example), but most of it should be pretty close. You may have to adapt one thing or another due to a change of plug style, but that should not be too much problem.

The ignition stuff is different (mechanical vs. electronic advance), but then again you might be best off to swap in the 1100G's solid ignition rotor and ignitor, assuming you can salvage that stuff as well.

Thanks for the replies,
Just to clarify I was also going to swap all the battery box electricals and pretty much everything related to the ignition system
And have all the electrics of the 1100g on the 1000 including if need be the light guages etc!

Would that be agood idea?
