[QUOTE="lukaspriest, post: 225772, member: 6025"] Greetings fellow Honda enthusiasts! I have made my way over here from CX/GL500/650 Forum in hope that I can tap into your knowledge and experience! I am trying to replace the ignition switch in my 1983 GL650. Somewhere along the way, I was told that a switch from a 1980-81 GL1100 will work. I pulled up the wiring diagrams for both bikes and learned that electrically, the ignition switches are identical. They both have six pin connections to connect them to the main wiring harness. On the GL650, the switch has soldered wire connections to a pigtail with a male six pin connection, while the GL1100 switch has the 6-pin male connection port right at the base of the switch. I found that EMGO makes an aftermarket switch for the GL1100, 1980-1981. The wiring for the GL1100 ignition switch is as such (according to the wiring diagram I looked at): Black: ground Red: Battery Light green/Black: ACC Brown/White: Tail Light1 Brown/White: Tail Light 2 Brown: Park It has six pins/blades laid out in the following format: (Top-key goes here) | | | | (Main cylinder barrel) | | = = = = = = (Bottom of unit, connector pins/blades laid out as shown) Can someone here can help me identify which color wire goes to which pin/blade on the ignition switch? Or, put another way, can someone identify what the individual pins do/connect to? That way I can wire it properly to my GL650. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
