it looks like you've got the glass tube style fuse box there. may i suggest upgrading to atm blade style fuses? i just did it on my bike last week because glass tubes are unreliable and can fail internally due to vibration and such. i got this kit for super cheap, and it's super easy to install.

I'd agree to switch from the glass tube fuses. They'll only cause a random/intermittent problem sometime in the future.

my experience exactly. and they sometimes don't show visually that they have failed. that's why even though my problem was a blown fuse, it took me 2 weeks to get to the bottom of it. they were the first thing i checked but looked perfectly fine to the naked eye.

Re-did the fuses, light switch, and ignition.... the starter button has be wired into the ignition also

Got the wiring harness done.... just got to wrap it up and make sure everything works right. Tomorrow the bike begins to get put back together. Frame is painted and all..... stay tuned

Ok, fellas. Not trying to be needy here but I cannot find a gas cap to fit the tank. the tank is off a 1980 gs450s.......... any help

I have got a chrome rectangle one that will work in a pinch. If you have your heart set on the round one try GS Resources and see if anyone might have one sitting around.

Thanks man, I have the 450s tank and ordered a generic gs450 cap...... wouldn't fit. You think that your 450L cap would work on a 450S tank, because they're different tanks?

 

[gk45011]

I know my L cap worked on my newer s tank for a min. wasn't the best solution but the seal and mount were the same and held the fuel in. If you have a pic of the universal underside you have I could tell you if it is the same.

Not sure about the bike bandit one. Seems like it wouldn't seal and vent right at the top. Worth a try for the money.

Here is the style I have extra:

Here is the style you need for exact fit:

lots of cheap options on ebay right now. I can hook you up with my extra (without key) as a temp fix cheap, but I assume you would prefer the round style.

Thanks for all the help Gary. I actually found a round one that should fit fine.
