Tomorrow if I remember I'll take a close up of the back of my GSXR gauges for you guys. I have them hard wired into my harness since everything ends up exposed. It all looks clean if you keep your leads short. With the housing of the Bandit clocks things will be cleaner. Most will either hide there or the headlight bucket. You can pick up a set of female and male plug ends to mate the Bandit gauges to the GS harness. A 12 pin plug set should be enough.

Dan, I think my gauges are 1998 1200. It will take some fiddling around to get them mounted & wired but I really like the look. I might add a gas gauge at some point.

Ok, hooked everything up, then wired all my grounds together...........nothing. Fuses checked out fine.

That's odd, the gauge lights should at least work. You don't have the grounds hooked up to a black wire do you? Grounds are black with a white tracer.

[nastyjones]

nope only black wire is hooked up to the left turn signals. The only light working is the headlight.

If you came off the main harness things should be working. I once had a problem with my ignition switch not making contact properly in its guts and I didn't have power to lights and stuff. I'll give this some thought and get back to you.

More pictures please!

I'm interested in putting late model gauges on my '77 GS750. Can you folks post pictures of yours after instal?

[Billy Ricks]

Paul, the bulbs are all LED's. You might possibly need resistors for some odd reason but I doubt it, there aren't any showing on the diagram. I'd seperate the leads to each bulb and test them straight off the battery. You may have gotten hold of a gauge set that was part of a major electrical failure. I had an R/R boil my battery dry once and the resulting short took out just about everything in my gauge pod.
