    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.

I've got an 1980 GS850....

I you have one or a model that's close all I need are pictures or the guts of your bike.

The electrical system was super corroded and I had to pull everything out. BUT I was a little hasty and didn't make good notes as to how the main electical harness snakes through the frame AND there are a few connections hidden behind the head lamp that don't seem to follow the color coding...

I though the haynes manual would have them, but alas, no good pic inside.

What I am looking for are a few detailed pics of that main cable AND a little help on the connections inside the head lamp. It may take more than one e-mail or phone call to do this, but I'd be willling to shoot a few pay pal bucks to some one for a little help here. This bike is in great shape otherwise, and I want to get another GS back on the road!!!

Thanks

Thanks

I took a look at this before, got it off the Bikbandit site....

It gives a nice look at the harness, but I really would like to see a photo. I treid a couple different configurations, and I can't quite seem to get it right.

Standing offer, I will send some one some cash for a few quick under the seat/ side panel phots and 2 or 3 answers to my behind headlamp wiring questions.
 
I have a 1980 GS850G that I just purchased. Currently, the tank, carbs and airbox are off so I can snap some pics of stuff. I cannot guarantee that everything is routed exactly; however, as far as I can tell everything works.

Do you need this tonight or can I take them in the morning? I have a digital camera and I'm computer saavy so I will have them up quickly.

PS - I absolutely WILL NOT accept any form of payment (as I'm sure is the case with most everyone else). This is what a forum like this is for. People helping people.
 
Thanks!

Thanks!

Any pics would help!

I no no one will take any money- but if I am going to be a pain in the butt, I expect to have a price to pay! So I will send some moeny to support the site in the name of any one who can help me out!

It's RAINING like crazy here in MD, so take your time!

Thanks agaion everyone!
 
Here are some pics. If ABSOLUTELY necessary, I can pull apart the headlight and snap pics of the inside connections.

I've embedded the pics in this reply; however, I also have a web page that I'm building that will have these (and future) pics.

http://myweb.cableone.net/halvorja/suzuki_gs850g.htm

If someone stumbles across this in the future and the pics aren't working, e-mail me and I'll see what I can do. halvorja@mn.rr.com

I'm limited to only 4 pics per reply, so there will be a few replies.

I also have the ultra hi-res versions of all these pics; however, they are around 1MB each. If needed, I can e-mail them.

That's it!!

That's it!!

I am hugely in your debt!!!!!

This covers what I need, I think I have got most of the headlamp wiring nailed! Thanks!

Way to go, Jake!

Welcome to the GS Resources! Righteous act, man. Great pics! =D>
Outstanding way to come on board!
 
Well done! I was about to go out and take some shots myself, but I don't think I could get any better than you have here.
Way to step up for someone!
 
As I've been tearing down my GS450, I've taken pictures of EVERYTHING that I may forget in a month when I put it back together. It's amazing how much easier digital cameras have made the rebuild process. :)

Too bad I don't know enough about the various models to be sure my pics will help people with other model bikes. But if anyone wants to see what the inside of a neglected 450 engine looks like, just let me know! :)

(of course, I'll happily share any of the pics with anyone that wants a look-see)
