Ignition removal 1979 cx 500

Not sure why you would do this. If you have a good cdi and stator, you could sell or trade it for the GL parts you need,,,you would have to remove the engine from the gl and change the rear cover and flywheel and change all the wiring on the bike to swap the ignition system from one bike to the other and you would end up with a system that is not as reliable.

Have a 1979 cx500 frame with a ignition and want to install it in a 1982 GL500 silverwing that does not. How is this done?

Get a "new" CX (but not 1982) ignition switch and leave the engine in the bike and the rear cover in place.

Rich, I think he needs an ignition switch/parts from a GL or a 1982 CX.

I think,,, I am still not sure exactly what he is trying to do.
