I need the rubber part the thermo sending unit plugs into. Unsure what it is called. Can't seem to find anything on the wiring diagrams. See picture.

I need some expert opinion. I did a lot of work on this bike then had some medical issues. When I tried to get back at it something is stuck. When I try to engage the clutch it doesn't really feel like it is disengaging and the transmission is stuck in 4th or 5th gear. My son came over and we...

Does anybody live in SW Ohio or SE Indiana that could help me work on my 1986 gl1200i? I know just enough to get myself in trouble. I have replaced the stator, the rectifier and the ignition switch. I am currently trying to run down a short in the temp gauge wire. Thanks

It has been awhile since I posted so I could not find my previous postings. I have replaced the stator, the rectifier, rhe battery, and the ignition switch. Putting the 86 gl1200 back together and the temp gauge shows max temp as soon as I turn on the ignition. Any ideas what to cheeck before I...

Ok, I knew for awhile I needed a new ignition switch. Bought one from sabrecycle. Bad choice! I will never buy another part from them. So I bought a used switch. It seems to be working ok. A former owner apparently did not want to put in a new switch so things were wired crazy to get power to...

I bought this gl1200i a couple of years ago. Started having electrical issues. Replaced stator and rec/reg. I show a voltage leak but not a amp leak. I started it up today and after running I realized it was getting hot. Went to shut it off and the kill switch as already in the off position. I...

I recently purchased a new Reg/Rec to put on my 1986 GL12300I. It does not have a black wire coming out of it like the old one did. Randakks show it as a replacment part. Am I missing something?

I have a 1986 GL1200I that I purchased a couple of years ago. Started having some electrical problems. When I got the fairing off and looked at it I was concerned. As you can see from the pictures someone has done some wiring changes. I would like to take it back to as close as possible to the...
