I am here because I have a chance to buy my brother in laws 1981 GL1100 that has set for 5 years and has many electrical issues. I am self employed having an automotive electrical and 3d design background. Just finished a mold for a waste water sampler company in the area, repair marionettes and sign ASL. This topic seemed interesting lots of questions and few answers, most of it has very simple answers. Besides, I need to post 5 times to get to the manuals.

Go for that '81! Change timing belts, flush cooling system, change oil, clean up fuel system (hopefully the fuel was shut off or drained), and you'll have a sweet machine. Electrics on these are quite simple, and if all else fails, there are complete harnesses on eBay - cheap. Enjoy!
