    Battery box fitment questions

    Folks,

    Will the battery box from a 1980 (or slightly newer) GS1000 fit a 1978 GS1000? They look similar, but I am not 100% sure.

    Thanks!

    The images from the fiche make it look like it would probably fit, but the brackets for mounting the electrical plate and accessories appear to be different. If you can do some fabrication, I imagine you can likely make it work.

      Yes. My gs1000 stuff fits my gs1100 4v. Not answering the question as asked, but it swapped out for me.
