[QUOTE="lukaspriest, post: 225781, member: 6025"] I REALLY appreciate you taking the time to respond and post these images! I have found similar diagrams, but I don't know how they correspond to the six pins (2 rows of 3 pins) of the ignition unit itself. Is there a way to translate/infer from the pictures you posted into how Honda lays out their wires into a rectangular 6pin (2x3) connector? I wish the graphic had a different angle rather than just laying them out in linear fashion. based on the pictures, maybe its like this? 1 | 2 | 3 4 | 5 | 6 or 1 | 2 | 3 6 | 5 | 4 ? Or something else entirely? I imagine you can see my conundrum. I've been pouring over the factory manuals for the gl1000 and the gl1100, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I emailed EMGO to see if they can give me a more definitive diagram of what the individual pins are for but have had no response. Maybe an owner has their headlight taken apart and could take a peek for me? Ha! I could just try the connection as my bike is natively wired, but I don't know if I'll fry something. I know just enough about wiring to be dangerous :-) My other option I guess is to just try 6 x 6 variations until I happen to stumble into the right one? Anyhow, thank you again for your time! I also posted this same question at the CX500 forum but haven't had any luck with a definitive answer yet.
