Question about gauges

[EricGS850G]

i have a question that i would like someone to please answer me about gauges for a GS 850. Okay i have a 1980 Suzuki GS850G and i bought it without gauge cluster and i have seen so many variations of gauge clusters for my bike. What is the correct gauge set supposed to look like? This is the gauge i bought and i need to know if this is the correct one for it or can i make it work. http://vi.ebaydesc.com/ebaymotors/ws...8268&viewitem=.
Can somebody please look at this and let me know. If it would be possible for someone to post pictures of the gauges or pm me or email me at EricG85@gmail.com.

That is the correct gauge set if you have the L model.

The gauges for the 'standard' model are encased in a single block.
Here are some shots of my son's '81 850, which is pretty much identical:

Hi Eric,

In case you need a service manual (which contains wiring diagrams), here's a link one of our member's site that you can download one from:

good luck,

So could any dash be used with any year as long as you could cipher the wiring? I'm thinking about trying to use Stewart Warner gauges. Nothing else works on my dash anyway.
