    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.

'77 GS750B
Wiring harness: located just past the large connector near the coils is another four prong male plug with these color wires:
>Yellow/Red
>Black/White
>Green/Red
>Orange
It comes out of the harness near where the blue wire for the neutral switch is and is a square plug.

Can somebody tell me what these are for? I can't find anything that plugs into this.

Don't worry about it. On the US and Canada model 1977 GS750B it doesn't plug into anything. Might possibly have been for some other market or model.

Mr. dardoonk,

My bike had something like that under the left side cover (but different color wires), a "convenience" plug. I took it off. It was connected to the battery and could be used either for powering something or connecting a trickle charger.

Thank you for your indulgence,

Thanks, Guys... I spent two hours going thru service manuals and searching the web for a picture of what I thought I must have lost.... I couldn't find any reference to it.

The orange should be "hot" only when the ignition is on, correct? If so, maybe I'll splice into it to power the Dyna S (the red wire).

Since I put so much time into finding out what is was, you can bet I am going to find a use for it now!!
 
I cant say anything about that connector.

But will say what a remarkably clean looking frame that appears to be.

Redman, thank you...
I'm mostly a lurker here on the Board and have been working on this bike for about 7 months now. Just a little at a time, though. Hopefully, by next weekend, I will have time to post a "Project Thread" and share all my trials & tribulations. Except for splitting the case, every component on this bike has disasembled and cleaned, repaired or replaced.

I could not have attempted this without the GS'ers here who have unknowingly assisted me so much during this project. Here's a pic from the day the frame & wheels came back together.

Impressive!

Impressive!

Mr. dardoonk,

Wow! That is quite an undertaking. My hat's off to you! The finished project is going to really be something to behold. Thanks for sharing! Wow!

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
I was going to make the same comment about the frame. Very smooth! It will look great when it's back together.
