    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • 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.

This may be a topic that has been discussed before, but my question is concerning an SH530-12 R/R. I need to replace the one on my gs1100L 1982 model. the chart says 20 amps from this unit. will that be enough for my gs1100. all the postings are concerning gs550s it seems. thanks for any advice. they can be had on ebay for next to nothing. I hate to spend 100$ for a new one that might not be as good.:)
 
you are better off buying new. if you buy a cheap one from ebay you cannot guarantee if it is working properly or how long it will last.

buy a new one, with a warranty, it will work out cheaper in the long run
 
Hi,

I have a cheap one from eBay and it's been going great for almost 5 years.

Yes, that r/r unit will work in your bike. If I was going to buy a brand new r/r unit I would save my pennies and get a Compufire unit. Although, I hear the Shindengen SH775 can be had new and that would be a good one too, a lot less expensive than the Compufire.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I wouldn't use that type. Get an older Honda unit with a sense wire circuit, or a newer FET type (I have one if you are in need). No need to buy a new one, in fact most of the aftermarket R/R's are pretty junky. Get a quality used piece and save money.
