    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.

R/R Fusebox Proximity

The Shindengen is considerably more burley than the original R/R. It takes up a lot more space. Is it so close to the fusebox that heat from the R/R could damage the fusebox?
 
Are you putting it on the L? If so I've put one on each one of my L's and they've bolted up where the original came off.
I put a bolt in one side loosely and slightly bent one tab out a smidgen and drew them tight. Worked like a charm.
 
It should be no problem. I feel that they run a fair bit cooler than a stock R/R.

It's not hard to move it under the battery. Easiest way is to remove the battery box. Of course, to do that, you have to remove the flasher and control unit that hang on the right side, then remove the ONE bolt that holds the solenoid plate to the battery box (might be behind the R/R in its current location), then lift the battery box out. Mount the new R/R so the terminals face the left side of the bike.

The fusebox will get hot if it is dirty. Other than that it is not likely either (fuse box or SH775) will get hot.
 
Thanks for all the replies. I have cleaned the fusebox and will give it a try like it is after I put in the stator today. This is on the G.
