    1981 GS450L Wiring - Any pictures of stock?

    Hello.
    New project GS450L owner here with some wiring confusion. The rear fender and lighting was missing from the bike I purchased and all of the wiring behind the carburetors is a mess. It is just hanging and I'm not sure if anything is missing or not. I've looked around for images of stock wiring but not having much luck and I thought I would ask here for help. So looking for some good photos of stock GS450 wiring mainly behind the tank/carbs to make sure I have everything and where everything will go when I put the bike back together. I am wanting to try to test everything and start the bike up before I tear it down so I will have an idea of how many electrical problems I face.

    This photo is what I'm currently looking at and working with.

      This is what I have handy. It's for a 300 but should be very,very similar. As to what's what you need a wiring diagram. There's one in the manual. Your picture is turned sideways and is a pain to look at but I'm thinking you are missing the fuse holder that goes from the red? wire's empty socket...you probably have it with the old battery cable? anyways I digress...

          Here's a pretty easy to follow color wiring diagram: https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=2370b...1&sc=documents

                  The Factory Manual would have saved me some time when I replaced the harness on a 1000G. I had the manual, but I didn't know that stuff was in there.
