:gunhead: I just purchased an 83 Gl1100 Aspencade. Where the radio unit would go, it had a blank faceplate. I purchased a use radio / cb/ intercom system and lo and behold, the rest of the system was already installed in the fairing. I plugged in the system, purchased an attenna and it looked like everything worked. I did not have a headset but I was able to hear the CB and the radio. Well after screwing around with removing parts (windshied, volt meter cluster) off the fairing and reinstalling, everything still worked for a short time. Now the radio will not work. I can push the clock button and it stays on for a few moments. The CB works fine, but I have nothing on the guage for the radio. I've checked fuses, plugged and unplugged everything, took all the connectors apart and still no luck. Anyone have a "oh, there is a hidden fuse or something" that they can suggest. I've taken this thing apart so many times, I'm just about ready to give up.
Also I'm scanning E-bay for an inexpensiveheadset. It looks like a J&M set would be the best, but can someone suggest one over the other. It looks like "old stock" goes for $20 to $80.00.
Also most of the ads say 1500 or 1800. Are all the 5 pin connectors the same. Will most of these units also work on my 83 1100?
