[QUOTE="lukaspriest, post: 225788, member: 6025"] OK, so here's what my ignition switch looks like. It has the 6 wires soldered on at the base of it that extends into a short (6" or so) pigtail. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/mTsKNDt.png[/IMG] And here's the pigtail connector that matches up with the wire colors going to the wire harness. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/W20XqVj.png[/IMG] Another view with the connector rotated 180 degrees so you can see the other side: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/qyEye31.png[/IMG] And one more pic (ignition pigtail on the left, harness on the right): [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/6OYiHbM.png[/IMG] And here's the switch that I have on the way - I've heard somewhere that it'll work and the electrical structure of it mirrors the one I have according to the diagrams from the factory manuals: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Vd85t9p.png[/IMG] And the connectors, which are pins formed right at the base instead of a pigtail: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/3feczmB.png[/IMG] All of this of course leads me back to my original question - should I just plug my wire harness into this badboy? If I plug it in and the connections aren't correct, do I risk damage to my bike's electrical system? I'm trying to figure out what each pin does -OR- trying to figure out which color wires plug into which pin on a current GL1000 or GL1100 setup. If I knew that, I could puzzle out how to wire my GL650 to this thing. I want to again thank you all for your warm welcome to this forum! I appreciate the help more than you know! [/QUOTE]
