1981 Suzuki GS450 Basket Case

I will have to see if I still have it laying around or if it was thrown away with the old rusty/broken parts.

Appreciated.

I plan on doing my own wiring harness from scratch. Just trying to figure out exactly what electrical to buy. Trying to find ignition coils is not easy. They should be a 4ohm coil but I have been finding 3ohm and nothing that exactly is a match with gs450.

Cool, if you go the Dynatek path their kit for the twins comes with coils.

Alternatively, if you use a later 450 or 500 ignition set up, just use those coils as well. The 450 and 500 coils are essentially the same. The only coils that aren't a straight swap are the earlier 400/425 coils that come from a bike with points as they will have condensors on them.

Could I use every thing from a GS500 for electrical or just use coils? The Reg/Rec look different, CDI, and prices are different as well. Just want to make sure I get the electrical done best way possible so I do not have to worry about it.
