    I was here when basscliff was only 5 years old. Seriously, it was at least 20 years now. I had to create a new account. I have a gs 1100 that needs rewired. I have to source a good harness somewhere.I have an 850 g parts bike, maybe sone of that harness will work? I need colored diagrams. I will post pictures once I get it back to my house from where it is right now. I love the gs bikes.

      yep.I joined about 20 years ago.I had a 80 gs1000L. It blew a head gasket. I was ready to junk it. The guys here patiently worked me through it. I had done overhauls on ford 289, chevy 327, 350, straight chevy 6, one slant 6. But motorcycles are way different. Findng timing marks, rotating to one spot, then another, counting 20 pinss on the chain, having marks on the sprocket line up a certain way, all crazy.Then fitting 4 carbs back on with the airbox giving you about a 1/16 of an inch to work with, all a bunch of crap to deal with.But I sure did enjoy hotrodding it after i did the head gasket,cylinder base gasket, all the o rings and seals, etc.But electric stuff is impossible for me. I hope to find a good harness and slowly install it, but have no confidence I can do it.

          I recall the name Ron Bayless. Welcome back.

          Mr Cliff BassCliff hasnt been around much in recent years. (Left the bike in California when moved to Wisconsin.)

          Not many of the old timers are still around, and they dont post much.

          I dont think any of the Texas guys that I meet at Texas Hill County in 2005 are around at all (do occassionall see a couple on FB GSR).

              Hey Ron,

              You might want to look back at the various different threads you have posted here recently to see if anyone has offered help.

              I have a gs 1100, I think it was a G. The former owner had customized it a lot, changed the appearance. I have to go write down the vin and search but Iknow the frame and engine will give me some clues. Someone completely hacked up the wiring harness. I had a guy who is good with that connect several things and got the bike to

                not sure what year the 1100 is that I have. Its at a friends house and dont have the engine engravings, frame, vin to look at.I think they were made 80 to 84. The former owner completely hacked the wiring harness. A smart friend of mine hooked up enough for it to start and run. It needs the pods off, airbox put bak on after I
