Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

A beautiful thing!
A beautiful thing!
Duane, Thanks big time. I have a working R/R today! Hardest part was getting the old one out. I rode a bunch of miles and I sill have 13.1 on the battery, which, like, never happened before.
You are da man!

I included bolts to replace the screws which sometimes have to be drilled out. Some people are lucky enough to have a RR right in plain view, others have to remove the battery box (like mine) to get to it.
On my VX800, I simply cut off the wires and abandoned my old regulator where it sits (completely away fromany airflow and about half an inch from the exhaust pipe -- Suzuki's penchant for stupid electrical engineering remained well into the '90s). It's still under there, since I haven't felt an overpowering urge to remove the swingarm just to bash two screws out.
I mounted the "new" Honda regulator up under the side cover. Plenty of air flow, no blazing-hot exhaust nearby.
With a GS R/R mounted under the battery, it's actually fairly simple to remove the battery box and attack the bolts in the open. And it's actually not a bad location for the R/R, since the area gets a decent amount of air and isn't near anything hot.

I find my RR gets covered in road dirt and stuff under the bike where it is, the old one was pretty dirty. I did a one off RR for a Suzuki (can;t recall what it was but it was a V twin) and it was mounted right in front of the bike. 48 inch long wires to get back to the harness.
I've noticed that some bikes have a little rubber or plastic flap between the airbox and swingarm that should keep the worst of the dirt from the rear tire at bay. But yeah, things do get pretty grungy under there since not too many people are obsessed enough to clean under the battery box.
The only bad thing about this location is its vulnerability to acid leaks. Some battery boxes are near crumbling because of a vent tube that went missing sometime in the '80s. Personally, I will never install another unsealed battery -- the risk of acid damage is simply not worth saving $10 or $20.
