    GS1100GL tach question

    The tachometer cable has come apart at the engine end so obviously need to replace it.

    The bike is a 1979 GS1100GLZ (drive shaft model).

    Searched a few places online for a new one but none specifically mention my bike. They're either for other sizes (850, 1000, etc) or other years (1980,1981, etc).

    Can anyone tell me if these cables are somewhat universal or somewhere that would carry a cable specifically made for my bike.

    Thanks

    One reason they don't mention your bike is because it did not exist until 1982.

    Hang on to that bike, it is DEFINITELY one-of-a-kind.

      Sorry - my mistake (owning more than 1 bike and getting to damn old - don't know what's what).

      Steve's correct, the bike is a 1982.

      Still have the same question(s) though.

        I've had luck here.
        1983 GS 1100 Guided Laser
        1983 GS 1100 G
        2000 Suzuki Intruder 1500, "Piggy Sue"
        2000 GSF 1200 Bandit (totaled in deer strike)
        1986 Suzuki Cavalcade GV 1400 LX (SOLD)

        I find working on my motorcycle mildly therapeutic when I'm not cursing.

          Who woulda thought that "Goldwing Cycle Parts" would carry Suzuki stuff?

          Apparently it's a K&L part, if that matters to you at all.

          If you prefer Genuine Suzuki, click HERE. Just a couple bucks more.
