Poll for Compufire R/R Users

[GRAND ROUGE]

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.

tou will be very happy

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.

Love it!!! Best outside the box thinking yet!

The SH-775 is larger than the Compufire and if you put the connector on the SH-775 it is even bigger still.

As for using it as a bobble on a chain, the Compufire is a but more refined look, where the SH775 has more of a bling factor.

A big attention getter from women I'm sure.

Along with the foil hat from the attack on Texas thread you'd be the coolest kid in class.

...if I was still running a air box I would have had to find a good spot to mount it.

I mounted mine up front right above the oil cooler since I still have the stock airbox, and I am sure there is voltage drop due to the longer wires, but I used the provided 10 gauge wires so hopefully not as much.

just some further info, I need more info to verify this but my oil temps in my 1150 with the new compufire showed a decrease.
my gauge doesn't work so I use a fairly cheap laser temp reader. In the past after a ride it would read 190 to 195 at the sight window. Checked it today at the sight window 178.

Assuming that site glass area is reflecting oil temperature pretty well, that sounds about right. You can read about other people also reporting drops in temperature. It is not just the Compufire on 16V, but at least one other guy has noticed a drop in an 8V using a SH-775. The 1100 and larger motors are the most noticeable.

I just did the same.

Good products, great ideas, well-advised by smart people. GSR= Grand Support Resource

If I have a problem with a Stator, and or regulator, I will probably go with a Compufire. I might possibly upgrade the fleet if that happens.
