The End of the Road for my Honda RR Kits

[Tarbash 27]

Thanks for the r/r I bought for an 81 1100e that solved the charging problems. I have since sold the bike to my friend and never had a charging problem since.

Man you are good. ESP run in the family?

I was just saying...

I'm going to do a photo shoot of the last one I modify, I've asked another member to help with creating a nice looking PDF as well. I've modified more RRs than anyone ever will and would like to share the knowledge.

Which RR to use was discussed exhaustively in another thread, I don't want to re-ignite a storm over it. I will include my personal list of bikes that I looked for RRs from, along with the models that work best and things to look out for.

I will personaly appreciate it, as I procrastinated away the chance to get one of yours. So I'll be an early user of your user guide. Many thanks.

any opinion on me using a rr from a 81 cb 900? Eight wires. 3yellow, 2 black, 1 white, 1 red, 1 green. Is it compatable? I have an 80' 1100et. the rr is a shindengen sh296a-12.
Regardless, if you put together this rr page like others compared to the carb rebuild page, you will help so much, and save so many posts on rr problems. Thanks.

Not these. I would not try one on a GS

The CB900 uses a field regulated alternator and you want one for a shunt regulated alternator. As Duaneage says, that one will not work on a GS.

Thanks for offering these as long as you have, they are a great comfort from personal experience. Your effort in the R/R area is one of the things that makes the GS site special in my mind. I've only needed one for obvious reasons, but have bought two from you just in case I get another bike. Thanks again.

Thanks for the URL. I've been slowly chugging through the 26 page thread, and will probably summarize it. Lots of good information in it.

Duane,

Although I "rolled my own" at about the same time you came on the scene with your kits, I always appreciated the fact that your inexpensive solution was readily available to those who needed it.

My only suggestion is that you continue to provide at least a low volume of kits to those who need them, at whatever new price point is required to make it worth your while. I suspect that new price would still be much less than any other "ready-to-plug-in" alternatives.

Your contribution to the GSR community will be a lasting one (pardon the pun, hehe) either way, Pal!

Regards,

The unit worked for me and took away a big worry. Thanks, again.

Yes well aside from letting us know the end is nigh, Can you please release us from your angelic Oprahesque denouement?

Bloody sad way to end the inevitable.

Thanks for the service! I bought one of your R/R kits for my GS750 a few years ago and it's been a rock solid performer and brought a lot of piece of mind in the boonies. I just wish I'd picked up another one or two for spares and new bikes like I always intended to, guess it's time to get out the soldering iron.

hey, maybe we should donate Duaneage with a world map indicating all the locations where his RR's are making miles ?


he got a R/R running in Belgium (Europe)...(well, I installed it)
