81 gs1100e sh775

[Guest]

Howdy all,

I installed an SH775 R/R in my GS1100EX. But I can't figure out where to mount it. Search found lots of mounting discussion but nothing for my bike. I'm not sure if I should try and mount it under the frame between the fuel tank and carbs or if I should try to make a mounting setup the steak the R/R and fuse box where they currently are.

Any thoughts?

I asked the same question a couple weeks ago. Best suggestion was to swap the ignitor and RR. Or put on Pods....

Thanks. I saw that thread, that's where I saw the post about on the back plate with pods. Have you installed yours yet? How did it work?

It won't fit where the stock RR was? That is where I mounted my Compufire, was a tight fit and had to shave down a couple of the cooling fins just a touch.

Here is my mockup. The SH775 with connectors is twice the size of the Compufire. This bike has Dyna S ignition so the Ignitor spot was free.
Plenty of room for the connectors and airbox.

I'll have to see what I can do, that looks interesting. I'll need a spot for relay mod too so that might open up a spot in the original plate for it.

They must mount differently for the E. Mine bolted right up to where the old one was.

The holes match but the case is too big to fit.

I had an exact same issue (where to locate the SH775) with my 83 GS1100ES.
I ended up moving fuse box to the right as much as possible to open up the space for SH775.
In addition, I moved the starter solenoid to the right by 1/8" by widening the mounting holes, pick up another 1/8" by shaving off protrusion on the side of the fuse box.
Now, SH775 fits with enough margin on all sides.

I've been looking at that too. MY fuse box has big ears on either side right in the middle. So it is harder to move but I've thought about getting a new one that would have blade fuses.
