Latest Updates:

I went by Salty Monks house to test a TRIAL unit he had bought from OMP-Oregon Motorcycle Parts
.
Despite the inquiries and the claims this is an unbalanced SHUNT very similar to the original Suzuki R/R's

BOTTOM LINE THIS IS A SINGLE LEG REGULATING SHUNT DESIGN Circa 1977

results here for the IT IS NOT A SERIES R_R

Half the cost and a direct bolt in.

I thought it sounded too good to be true.

There is no technical reason you coudl not buy a SERIES R/R for under $100, but coming from out-of-the-blue from this hole in the wall place (special vendor arrangement, when all the other R/R's he have a clearly SHUNT type)

Gotta give Jim some real credit here. His testing of this unit has potentially saved dozens of fellow GSR members from wasting their time and money, thinking they were getting a series R/R.

I know he can be anal and isn't often accused of being a tactful writer, but I for one do appreciate the work he's doing on behalf of our GSR group :tiphat:

Yep, best "bang for your buck" in town. Thanks Duane.


Kudos to Dan and Jim for taking the time to really check out this new unit. You guys are our very own "GS Mythbusters" team!

It was great to see you last weekend Jim. Sorry you couldn't make it Dan. It was a fun little wrenching party.

All the best to you and yours,

Cliff

Yes sorry I missed it. It was good to check the unit out & saved me a job... I'll stick with the Mosfet unit I have on there for now, I'd like a series but $200 is a lot to justify.

Hopefully the vendor will accept the one I bought back

I hope so too! I believe what they have done is actually illegal if they object... false advertising.

Lots of later model Honda units on Ebay for under $50.

I got a brand new 6 wire for about $20 shipped. Will give it a little test on the GS750

Has anyone informed OMP of our findings? I'm curious how they would respond to these allegations.

I was just looking for this thread to ask the same thing... I see Salty Monk has his for sale now, so I'm guessing they didn't want to refund it...
