if you can't install a wiring harness, you have no business with a wrench in your hand.

I've never touched a wiring harness, but you'll have to pry my (boyfriend's) wrench out of my cold, dead hand!  :flipoff:

The wrench is the place to START, not the wiring harness! Duh!  :icon_razz: :laugh:

you would simpye run the harness through the frame and plug in your lights.  easy as pie.

Well I'm still going to check out the bike this weekend.  I got a friend who's been around motorcycles for a long time to agree to come with me.  He's got tools to do a more thorough analysis of what the bike has been through so hopefully we can ascertain just how much it has been abused.  Also, I'll get an up close and personal feel for the "weird choke" and possible brake work.  I won't be buying it this weekend because there's some bikes scattered around the area that I'm going to go look at over spring break, but I'll let you all know what we find out.

THAT -IMO- is the way to go. 

Never judge a PC by its TOWER.  (is that how the saying goes? damn microsoft)

a book by its cover.

of course. I'd a bought it anyway. add another GS to my stable. and another frame,engine, set a tires. 

Good luck.   :thumb:  take some pics too.

I'll definitely take pictures and if I pass on it I'd be happy to pass on the seller's contact info to you...Virginia to Alabama might be a bit of a drive, but if you're serious then there's no reason for it to go to "waste" and just sit in this guy's garage.
