    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.

hi guys. long time since ive been on here really. i have an 82 gs550 that im going to build into something. not entirely sure yet. but my first question is what all can i delete in the wiring and still have a running bike? i dont plan on using the gauge cluster at all. possibly the speedo with a little light in it but that would be it. i would like to hid all of the wiring under the tank except for the reg/rec. that will go into the tail with the battery.

so can i delete all the wiring that goes with the gauge cluster?
 
Get yourself the OEM Repair/Service Manual which will have the wiring diagram. From there you can figure out what wires you will need and which ones you wont.
I recommend not destroying your whole wiring harness though, and building a custom one for your specific needs/wants.

Search for "550 Bobber schematic" as one of my threads.

I tend to agree with both. "gs bobber wiring schematic" google search provided this nifty little wiring diagram at http://www.chopcult.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11305
 
I meant this one.

The other diagram does not have a fuse box, and it is not exactly clear if the battery is even fused, although there is a 15A symbol in line with the primary from the battery which could be it. Grounding is a bit helter skelter depending upoon interpretation and as the author noted there is no headlamp switch. Mine has all items listed and I specifically left out all lights.
