Mine is running really well too, Installed over a year ago, and running 110W drivinglights (double H3 bulbs) regularly.
 
I should be close to the 10,000 mile mark by now and have had absolutely no problems with the Compufire. I installed it without changing the stator. The old stator had very dark varnish on it, but showed no signs of burning through on the outside. That lasted a year until it gave up and I had to replace it. Another lesson learned about listening to what people on the forum say. I was warned at the time that I should have replaced the stator.
 
I've been having charging issues with my ES since last September. Confirmed the battery is sound with a load test from the local Batteries Plus, bought a DMM and found I'm just getting 12.2 at the battery with any rpm :eek:

I'm fairly certain the r/r is original, as well as the stator, so I figure I got about 55k out of them! After much reading (and cleaning and testing...), today I ordered a new Electrosport stator and the compufire 55402 r/r. From everything I've read, this should do the trick. :pray:
 
I'm sure it will, those parts have worked well on both of my G models. On my digital voltmeters while riding, I usually see right at 14.0 volts. The Compufire comes with a Weatherpack connector, so it will seal much better than the OEM stuff. Of course, you need to add a matching connector on your bile's wiring.

EDIT
I can't re-vote, but I'm now between the 4K and 10K mark on my red bike, and under 4K on the blue one.
 
I installed a Compufire on my bike about 2 years ago along with a new stator. I haven't put alot of miles on it yet though maybe around 4,000 and all is good.
 
Bump,
My Compufire is still running. Probably about 5K miles.

Do you have an update?
 
Mine's still going strong. Can't remember what mileage I've done since but I fitted it along with a new stator in my 1100 right after Bruce's 2010.
 
I haven't kept very good records but from checking dates of pictures and what I was doing at the time I believe I have at least 10,000 miles or more on my Compu-Fire.
 
I'm going to start counting years, I keep loosing track of the miles.

the above was posted in 8/2012


2015 and being 5 years old my Compufire is still good as gold. Don't recall the mileage though I would say about 16,000 now.

Installed a Compufire w new Electrosport stator July 5, 2012. Have put on just over 9,000 miles. Running a Motobatt AGM battery since August 1, 2011. Just over 13,000 miles. That battery was totally discharged 3 or 4 times on a 2K ride last week of June 2012 when RR failed and took out the stator. Had happened two times before (owned this bike since new)

Huge Thumbs Up for the Compufire......and to Jim...POSPLAYR for doing the research ands sharing his results with all who were interested. Thank you!

Just purchased a Compufire R/R and an Electrosport stator per Jim's advice. Going to install them along with a Dyna 2000 ignition this coming week.
 
Just finished up the install on the compufire on my 1150, cleaned up a lot of connections along the way, it is now charging SUPER STEADY, 14volts at idle and never gets above 14.5, according to the new digital volt meter I installed. I did notice an improved idle which seems bit strange unless the fried regulator was just not allowing the proper voltage at idle, I hadn't checked it in many years.
If all else said about the compufire units is true they are worth every penny. Although the unit is a bit large, if I was still running a air box I would have had to find a good spot to mount it.
 
I hang mine from a gold chain around my neck for the bling impact.
