Help, need an electrical wiz

Post by supermotobobby »

I'm trying to wire a gauge cluster from a 98 GSXR 750 to work on my 75 GT550. Is this possible?

Everything is possible.
Do you have a wiring diagram for a gxsr750 so we can compare?
Bearing in mind the GT550 is analogue and 2 stroke and the GSX isnt, the rev counter & speedo probably won't work. Use a different dash like the Vapor which I had on mine like this - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11247&hilit=Earwig&start=30 way down the page......
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Mechanical gauges are cheaper & easier to install. Uses stock Suzuki drive cables. You just need to wire up the lights.
