Any interest in brand new wiring harnesses?

Was looking into making a harness for my project, and to do it cheaper I need to order large spools of the wiring. So, I would have extra left over to make other harnesses.

They would be made with Deutsch connectors, gold pins (nickel avilable), and mil-spec wiring. Would anyone be interested in this?
 
what models would you plan on doing, all GS's? also what sort of money would you charge for a complete harness?

So far I only have a 78 gs750 harness and 83 1100e harness to go by, could do others if there was interest.

Still would have to get a dollar amount added up, not going to know 100% until I do mine. I do not see it costing too much more then a good quality used harness. ($100 is my estimate, might be lower)

I might be interested if it's a complete, new harness for my 550/650.

That would be do-able I would just need a wiring diagram.

For now I am just seeing if there is enough interest for me to order extra connections and pins when I place my order. Would 16ga be appropriate for the main harness or 18ga? The wiring conforms to these standards: Mil-W-22759/16, SAE AS22759/16 and is good to 150c and 600v.

Yes!!!

I would love a completed new harness for my 82' gs650g. I just blew up the diagram, and was thinking about making it myself, but not too well with electrical work. but do know how to put it all in. I desprately want to resotre my bike. It leaks, the exhaust smokes, just the whole nine yards. Still am able to use it as my daily bike, but just ordered a brand new gas tank, side panels and rear. Might purchase a new engine as well, but not too sure. But the biggest issue is the wiring. I need to charge my battery every 3 days because of the wiring.

Please let me know if you would be interested in making my request.

The diagram says gs650z, but it works for the gs650g. Thanks mate.
 
With the OEM stytle plastic connectors and bullet style connectors? One for the 78 1000 E would be nice. I have a new..never installed 78 1000 C that you could use as a template for making that one easily enough.

The E is eccentually the exact same thing except the plug ins for the turn signal ( E has the self cancelling feature).

Let you the C harness as a template and you make me an E???
 
If you do a harness for the 750, use the 79 diagram and incorporate a fuse block. No sense in upgrading your harness if you keep the foolish "one fuse to rule them all" design.

I am interested, will update the thread when I order the wiring.

Finding the stock connectors and stuff is a challenge so far. Like mentioned, I was planning to use Deutsch connectors. More expensive but higher quality.

Ah, I thought 77-79 used the same harness. Thanks :)

I just typed in VINTAGE CONNECTORS in the search box and dozens of threads popped up...one had this place.

Thanks, looks like it might be possible then. Going to do my harness first to see how involved it is then go from there.

Maybe I will be able to do harnesses for a bunch of bikes down the line. I think I will need a stock harness for each model to do that, though. Just to figure out wire length etc.
 
I also do think Suzuki has full kits available as well. Like a dealer available shop supply, but they do exist.
 
Thanks man, ya keep me updated. And quick question, my lights dim when my turn signals are off and i press my brakes, any ideas on this?
 
Or corroded connections. Check all harness frame ground loops also. Mainly the one right at the front of the battery box that grounds from the harness.
 
About to place an order for the wiring/connections.

So far I have a harness for a 78 gs750, and what I think is a good harness for a 83 gs1100. If a stock harness is supplied I can make up a new one no issue. Will be available with either deutsch connectors or oem connectors. Would also be able to supply them with the coil relay mod already done, etc.

Anyone interested in a harness still? If not one of the two bikes mentioned earlier, I would need yours or one mailed to me, to measure wire length etc.
 
What did the end result cost come to? and I'm wondering how you're finishing the major connections, ie handle bar connections, ignition, ect... have a picture of your finished 750 one?

Have not done mine yet, mine will be heavily modded. Different switches up front, extended wiring at the back to fit the new tail, etc etc.

All the connections will either be deutsch or oem. If oem, it would plug right into all the switches. If you needed deutsch, your switches etc would have to have new connectors put on.

As far as cost that all comes down to what bike it is for (how much wire is used) and the amount of connections & type of connections. I do not see it getting too expensive unless deutsch is used, or another higher end brand of connection.

Edit: Circuit breakers might be available for the large circuits (starter relay, R/R). Still looking into cost on those.
