    Who knows anything about this topcase

    Hi,

    Recently acquired a 1982 Suzuki GS850G in need of help.

    It has a topcase, but I can't figure out the make or model of this case.

    The key says "Bauer Products". It has "KG" in two places on the topcase.

    Attached a photo.

    Any help identifying it is appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Maurice

    KG was a pretty popular co., back in those days for back rests, luggage racks & case guards. I assume they probably had luggage also, but I wasn't into luggage, so not sure about that.

      Yes, that is a KG top case. They also made hard saddlebags, but what everyone knows them for is the luggage rack and its optional sissy bar.

          Hi,

          the other reason I ask is the KG has a two pin electrical plug for the tail lights.

          there's two three pin electrical plugs. one on each side of the rear of the bike. these are for the rear turn signals - which are missing. The two pin plug looks similar to the three pin plug (see attachment below).

          Wondering of KG also sold rear turn signs.

          Or maybe KG sold saddlebags with turn signals built in.

          Anyone know?

          Thank you,

          Maurice

            I have one of those cases on an 850L that is about to be sold. I will look at the electrical connections before it leaves here.
