Title: K1100 help identify relay
Post by: Deepnoizer on October 13, 2017, 08:06:40 AM

I'm working on stripped down (93) K1100 and I'm in process of cleaning up wiring a bit. I found tucked away and taped two relays by front fork I got no idea what they are.
Any idea?

I'm guessing they're headlight relays.  If you pull them out, I'll bet that your headlight won't work.  They are there to keep the headlight current from burning up the dimmer switch on the left handlebar.

What do believe might happen if you remove them?
