    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

It wasn't snide. People seeking information are expected to do a thorough search before asking questions. People on the forum are helpful, but don't like wasting their time answering the same questions over and over. In your defense, you probably don't know how to search for R/R information.

Do a search for Shindengen in advanced search, technical forum. You will get about 52 threads of information concerning Honda R/Rs made by Shindengen. These R/R models are prefixed with a SH (for Shindengen).

No, seriously, I wasn't being snide. I'm not a "search the archives, dummy" kind of guy, but I think in this case the quickest and best way you could find the information you seek is to do a search. When my R/R went out last week, that's what I did. I found what I needed, hopped on eBay, and $18.50 later (including shipping!), I've got a compatible Honda R/R on the way. The topic has been covered extensively and exhaustively in the past so I found out both what to buy and how to install it right away in the archives.

If your location is relevant to your post inquiries, it would be helpful if you entered your UK location in your User Control Panel (User CP link at top left of page). Otherwise we haven't a clue as to where you live and any difficulties it may present apropos advice given.

The GS450 or GS850 can use any Honda R/R that will work on any other GS model. Some R/Rs may be a little larger than others, but if you are creative mounting is not usually a problem.

I'm using one from a late model CBR1000RR. No sensor wire to deal with. Same number of wires as the GS units.
 
Be careful because the words out on Ebay about the Honda R/Rs and people are listing them under GS 1100 (and probably other Suzuki searches) at inflated prices. Try doing the Ebay search for a compatable Honda R/R.
