    1982 gs850 left hand switch gear

    Hi my indicator/hi low switch is unrepairable ,
    struggling to find a replacement, it has 11 wires, 9 going to the blue connector block plus 2 more ,any ideas of another that will fit ,the only one that looks the same so far is a GS1000 E ,but not found on for sale .
    or a diagram to convert and 8 wire to 11 wire .
    cheers

    What happened to your original switch? Is the button broke or is the entire control destroyed? Is the harness salvageable? If the harness can be saved you can transplant into a different housing. I did just that by buying a hand control for the internal switch parts and then transplanting into my old housing w/harness.

        I have one for an 82 850 but it is for Canada and only has 8 wires. Z1 Enterprises sells an aftermarket one by K&S stock # 12-0042B It is vintage style universal use. It is for turn signals, horn, headlight, high beam and running light. comes with a connector box with 6 wires and 5 wires with bullet connectors. In Canada the wiring is slightly different as running lights are mandatory and there is no switching needed for head and tail light. The one I have is missing the screws that connect the two pieces together. If you want it PM me with a picture of yours and I will see if it is the same.

          The stock hand control has a momentary contact turn signal switch arrangement which triggers the auto cancel control box to begin it's cycle. Most aftermarket hand controls have an ON/OFF turn signal arrangement which won't work in that system.

          Again, if you can't find the exact hand control you need then it's easy enough to buy a similar one and mix and match parts to build what you need. Even if you find the proper control it should be taken apart so it can be cleaned up internally and lubed with dielectric grease. There are photos of the guts in my flick account as well as others on this site in older threads. One key thing to know is that the square button must be rotated 90 degrees in order to extract it. A lot of people don't know this and wind up breaking the button.
