    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

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.

Honda r/r tutorial?

So the search function hasn't helped much but I was wondering if anyone has actually made a picture tutorial for the infamous Honda r/r mod? I know 'duanage' sells premade kits but I scored a r/r for a song. This weekend I'm hoping to swap in a sh232-12 from a cx500 into my 82 gs450. I tested it and it's good. I know basically what cuts and splices to make but for redundancie's sake I was curious as to anyone else's set up.
 
Ah, guess I overlooked that one! Thanks! Yeah I'm aware of the series r/r units and their superiority but seeing as this is just a 450 I'm not that concerned since my voltage output isn't that of say a 650 or above. Its mounted underneath the seat as well so it'll have plenty of airflow to boot.

Voltage or charging currents are related to electrical loads not engine CC's. Most bikes have the same loads owing to the DOT required lighting and usual dual coils. he smaller engines seem to allow the stator to keep cooler, but that is no guarantee or substitute for SERIES performance.
 
I suppose I misspoke but that's the general idea. From what I've heard, the smaller cc bikes don't torture the stator and r/r as much as the larger cc bikes. That being said I wasn't too concerned. If my wallet was abit fatter I'd spring for the series unit but the Honda shunt units have shown to be a reliable budget friendly upgrade from my understanding. If it fails then I'll join the series club lol. So far I'm only in this for $10
