Cycle Electric

It's mentioned in one of posplayr threads, it has the same stated application as the 55402.

basscliff,

it was about $25 cheaper.

If the CE-600 series (any one of them) R/R will fit it will work the same way as the Compufire 55402 R/R.

Thanks posplayr and bluewool for the info on both units. I am going to get either the compufire or the CE-601 for my GS1100G. I'll post pictures on the install. I already cleaned up the harness on the bike. Put in the coil relay and added a headlight relay.

Here's my install on the '80 1000G. Something very similar should work on the 11.

Thanks for posting the link Dogma. I hadn't found that thread in my searches, it's nice to see a successful install.

In other words, the CE-600 is physically bigger than the Compufire. And both are bigger than a stock R/R, so those installing these will need to sort out a way to mount the R/R. Correct?

With minor modification of my side plate I got the compufire to fit my ED.

Here it is mounted. Took a little work but not bad if you have a welder. The unit is 3.75" x 2 1/2" but the bolt spacing is different to the GS bikes. It is very nice quality and charges well according to all the claims.

The CycleElectric is at least another 50% larger (IIRC 6-7" wide) and seems to only fit in the space under a battery box.

I have the Shaft model and it looks like either the Compufire or the CE-601 will fit nicely under my battery box on the GS1100 G. I have a lot of open space there. My box is clean too with no rust. Actually the whole bike is in nice shape as its been garage kept throughout its life. Looking forward to the warmer weather. Posplayr, thanks for the info on the temp gauge. I have a spot on my fairing for that too along with my voltage gauge.

Nothing is going under the battery box on the EF due to suspension clearance issues.
Nor will it fit easily behind the battery box.
Things will ended up being shuffled around, which isn't a big deal.
I won't have time to get to it this weekend but, I WILL get into it next week. Some comparison photos for scale will be posted.
