    Istalling Vetter 4 fairing on 1980 GS100G

    I think I have a different Vetter so it's possible this might not apply but your style of highway bar/case guard might clash with the bracket for mounting the Vetter.

    Thank you sir, I just wanted a little reassurance. I'm not real confident in my electrical analyses.

    Isn't Savoie on some kind of Suzuki twin?

    Alternative to the SH775 RR

    Is the red wire on the left side of the 5-wire connector the one I'm looking for to receive the positive from the R/R? This connector has been left unused by a previous owner (aftermarket R/R wired direct). I can't find a 5-wire connector like that in the wiring diagram (I'm probably reading...

    Deltran volt meter

    As I get used to it, I am happy also. It's not much trouble to push the button when you want to see the voltage and it is well-made and easy to mount (not that other ones require any difficult wiring.)

    Dismantling Fusebox

    So do they all come apart? I'm wondering if by "soldering the crimps" writers are talking about the connectors that plug into the fusebox. Maybe on the box itself, you just put some naval jelly down into the contacts where the fuses plug in. It seems some boxes have wiring inside them and...

    Dismantling Fusebox

    I've searched and read 'til I'm getting confused. I'm assuming you need to get inside your fusebox (in my case OEM '83 1100G) to properly clean hardware/terminls and solder the crimps. I've found pictures of fuseboxes taken apart but can't figure mine out. I've taken out any screw I can find...

    Alternative to the SH775 RR

    I'm glad I asked before I started snipping and attaching. Thanks for the helpful replies and , yes, it is the 1100g. Due to other life stuff I won't get to this until Tuesday but will know what to avoid. I could have sworn I read somewhere you could go direct to the battery if you put a 25 or...

    Alternative to the SH775 RR

    Thanks for the help. The R/R I am replacing is not OEM and it has a red wire that doesn't use the harness but just goes (unfused, I might add) straight to the battery positive. I'll have to poke around and see if I can find the original point the OEM R/R would have been connected to. Since I...

    Alternative to the SH775 RR

    I received the T2500676 Triumph wiring harness. It has 2 groups of wires, each having a plug on each end. One group has 3 wires which, I guess obviously mate up with stator wires. I will cut the plug off the stator end and solder the wires to the wires coming from the stator. The other...

    Deltran volt meter

    Okay, I'm not a very good reviewer. I should have waited until I actually used it on the road. It is not back-lit and it doesn't stay on when the bike is running. You have to push the button and it stays on for 20 or 30 seconds (didn't actually time it). It's fine for a conscientious rider...

    Deltran volt meter

    http://products.batterytender.com/Accessories/Digital-Voltage-Indicator-with-LCD-Display.html This works well. Just plugs into connection from battery that Battery Tender Charger plugs into. You need a short extension to get it to the handlebars (I'm thinking that was about $7). Well...

    Charging Problems

    I'm no expert and am more of a taker of information than a giver but here is what I think I have learned. OEM gaskets are by far the best in areas prone to leak but the stator gasket isn't in a real harsh environment so aftermarket gaskets like those sold a Z-1 Enterprises are okay. Not sure...

    Charging Problems

    I was told used SH-775's on ebay are reliable since they are hard to hurt and they are way cheaper than new ones. You need a wiring hookup that is available new from Triumph dealers. I just ordered one of the sh-775's for $40 and the wiring hookup for $14 shipped.
