1983 Suzuki GS850 Cafe Racer Project

Very close now......

Sweet ride. Subscribed. Looking forward to the finished product

You have done an awesome job on this bike

This bike is looking great! Can't wait to see the result!

oh...btw...if you don't have a fuel sender in your gas tank and want that fuel level gauge to stop blinking...just connect the fuel sensor wire on the gauge to ground....if that doesn't work...you connect the fuel sensor wire to a resistor (forgot the value) and then to ground. Something like that.

Soon Steve, soon.

Thanks for the link frankenwabbit

Found a good signal and here it is:

schematic is half way down the page on the above link. only difference was i connected to ONLY one of my coils.

Time to ride it!

Depends on the unit you have, but I have my Trail Tech Vapor tach lead connected to the '-' side of one of the coils. You can also try the '+' side, it seems to give a weaker, but less noisy signal.

I have a ChiBay unit, and can't get it to work in any way shape or form. I can get it to somewhat work by wrapping the signal wire around one of the spark plug wires.

Where did you get your seat from, and how did you mount it?

Really liking your build, and I'm impressed with the quality of your work!

Thanks. I got the seat off of EBay. I have not mounted it yet, however I have two options, two bolts directly through the electronics pan and into the seat where the brackets bolt to the seat pan, or weld nuts onto the seat brackets and go trough the side of the sub-frame to the brackets.

I'll let you know how I did after I do it.

On my gs550, I added a chi-bay electronic tach/speedo unit.


To get the tach to work, I took the (-) side of the coil and tapped to the tach signal wire on the gauge. where the wire for the (-) coil and tach signal wire connected, I tee'd a 10k ohm 1/4 resistor to a 12v wire and everything started working.

Can you post some pics or a diagram? This seems to be very interesting, thanks.

Can anyone help me out?

I am looking for a positive connection for the RPM to complete the connection of my digital gauge. Does anyone know?

A little teaser.
