    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey so yesterday I decided to buy my first bike, an 81 gs 450t. The seller was asking 500 but I ended up haggling him down to $400. He had originally started to build it into a cafe racer but lost interest, the bike has new tires, carbs, signals and drag bars. However he said he was experiencing an electrical problem so he removed the entire harness and unwrapped it. Does anyone know where I could source a new one? I'm also going to have to figure out how to relocate the battery and coils because he cut off all of the mounting tabs. Any info on how/where to source parts i need and how to relocate the battery is much appreciated, I can't wait to get on the rd!
 
Welcome!

I'd suggest eBay is your best bet to start looking for a harness.

Once BassCliff comes along with your mega welcome, have a good read through everything and that will get you going in the right direction ;)

Having said that, post a hello thread in the GS Owners section so BassCliff can find you :)
 
well i hd little bit of free time today and started to sort out the wring harness, however i don't think im gong to be able to make it work as its quite hacked.

Heres my question, will any 81 gs450 wring harness work or does it have to be specfc to the touring model? also what years are compatible?
 
it doesn't have anything for your harness, but on most parts you can check here to see what other bikes used a specific part.

for instance the petcock on your bike is shared with all of these bikes
