Getting more stuff together,with help from GSR I have hooked up the Martek ignition,thank you Oldvet66.A thank you to Steve and Tom203 for answering the question of how to wire up my R/R in terms even this electrics simpleton could understand.Helped that it was not as hard as my mind was making it.
Putting this car flasher on my 750 freed up:
The one I was using on the 750 for the 1000 along with the rubber mounting bit I was missing:dancing:

Coming along,sigs are on.
All the wiring is done.Well I really hope it's all OK.
Had to take the carbs out to get all the hoses on.Put them back when the new throttle cable gets here.Thinking I'll put oil in and push the start button to see how that goes.

Has anyone else safely used brake lines that are far too short?
Can someone post ANY pictures of ANY other GS1000 with brake lines this short that work?

OK she did turn over a bit.
But this happened to the glass fuses.Odd is it not?
Hoping changing to this fuse box will help.
Looks like the wires are the same colours.
Two red wires in this bundle.Did I wire the R/R to the right one?Does it matter?
Edit:Everything else seems to be fine even the sigs work

Did up a plate to mount the 83 750 box to.
Then did just that.Have to wrap the wires and should really have made then shorter.Realised today if this works I should be able to fire her up.Yeah I put the carbs back in to
.Leaves me with only a few thing left to do.Big one being painting the "tins".With the disaster the lacquer turned out to be I'm taking Dale's(rustybronco)advice and getting some 2 part paint.No access to the booth I sprayed Yellers in

Oooo.... That hurt.
Hate those electrical problems. You'll get it sorted out though. How much melted?

What you see is what is crisped.No energy to go and look deeper right now.WTF did I do wrong:-&
Greg, peal back the wiring protector and post up a couple of 'good shots' showing both sides of the connector so I can see the wire colours and their locations in the connector block. It's hard for me to tell what wires got melted from your pictures so I can offer up a little help if I can.
Never fear, we've fixed worse Via remote control before...
***edit*** I assume the melted wires are heading off into the headlight bucket by your pictures? or??

I will .Will have to wait till Friday at the earliest though.10hr's in the heat at work leave me no energy to deal this after.Top row of the big connector the steering neck.Far right in the first pic,the one closest to the frame.Actually it would be the top sitting normally.Feeling pretty down right now with other stuff going on here toGreg, peal back the wiring protector and post up a couple of 'good shots' showing both sides of the connector so I can see the wire colours and their locations in the connector block.

Suspect the culprit might be in here as it seems to be burned the worst.
If the $$ where available I'd just get another one
This is where I touched the wire.Stopped the burn anyway
Anything I should be on the look out for when I take it apart?Must be a not all the time thing as I had the battery hooked up for some time before this happened.

So when I took it apart I found most of the wires were intact.Wasn't till me and Kelly took it to some better lit area we noticed the horn wire was damaged.Must have grounded out on the signal switch above it.Must of moved it just right
May have one locally but may shout out for one if it doesn't pan out.

Now you'll need to peel back the covering and inspect the harness side of the wiring loom for damage. Thankfully that wire only goes to the horn.

Yeah that's the plan for the weekend.Mind you that might not happen as it looks like Yeller needs a stator swap and there's other things I need to get done to.

OK unwrapped the harness,ground wire is melted up to where it 3 ground wires combine into 1.The rest of the wires look pretty much good but not sure I trust them.

Sorry about the melt down SV! That's such kick in the gut. I used these guys for wire when I was redoing my harness. They are a really good company and took great care of me.

Click on supplies and they have any kind of wire you would need. I used it to stick with the stock color wire. They sell it by the foot with a 10 ft minimum order.
