Compufire & 1150EF

[qcktvr]

Hi Everyone,
I am ordering parts for my 84 1150EF to get it ready for the warm weather.. The bike is "buried" in the back of next doors barn, so I cannot measure things..
I have seen pictures of compufires mounted, but cannot find them now, sorry; but am hoping that someone can tell me if it is possible to mount one under the LHS cover?? I see them on Amazon now for $155 making them difficult to resist, apart from the size issue that is. The bike was just charging enough and everything checked out re the stator papers, but since the stator cover has to come off to attend to a nasty oil leak it will be getting a new "Ricks" stator as well.
Apologies if this has been addressed before, but I cannot find it, tooo old??
Roll on Summer
Cheers

Good choice. I believe you will find a picture of posplayer's installation on his 1100 on the second page of this link post #1: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...=161397&page=2

I put one on my GS1000 including a Rick's stator. With some refitting of the fuses and turn signal box the Compufire fit just fine. Now the voltages are text book according to the Stator Papers. I have a volt meter hooked to the battery to monitor it while riding, great so far.

On my 80 750E, all I had to do was drill a new mounting hole a tab over from where the stock mounting hole was (right side mounting hole) and file down a couple cooling fins some on the compufire to clear a frame tube. Fits like it should be there.

I used velcro supplemented with a zip tie.
