SH775 Mounting Options on GS1100E? - Got any photos?

[Baatfam]

After 15 years of pushing my luck, I finally invested in a SH775 and Triumph cable setup.
The wiring is straight forward, but I am looking for photos of how you mounted it on your bike. Especially if it is a 1100E.

Going to test the stator first, than wire it all up in the next week or two.

Mine's mounted to the slightly modified tool bag bracket. I never had the tool bag, so it wasn't being used anyway. Not sure what kind of space your're working with.

Hi Bob. I cant get any pictures for you right now and not sure if there were changes between 81 and 82. But I moved the ignitor over to where the old reg/rec was located and the SH775 almost fit perfectly where the ignitor used to be. I say almost because I think I had to file the holes on the mounting tabs on the SH775 just slightly.

Actually I have quite a bit of space, since I have no air box.
But I have a plastic tool tray the goes over the battery for storage, and I would like to keep it.


Your photo made me see the 1100e has a lot of room above the rear master, thank you, and so I was thinking about making a bracket.

But than....bull958 mentioned this:

And yes, Mr. Bull....I see how that could work very well. Thank you.

I just threw the carbs away and had plenty of room for the reg-rec.

If you got rid of the engine, you'd have room for a case of beer. Just saying... :0)

LOL.....We so need a "like" button.

This is what I did.

After 15 years of pushing my luck, I finally invested in a SH775...

So I have 8 years, right?

...I have no air box.

Glad to hear that. Air boxes in general look terrible, and '82 and '83 11Es also severely restrict battery access.

Also glad to see you have the best color of the four offered between '82 and '83.

So I have 8 years, right?

Maybe not.....Did the "quick test" a few minutes ago....results were not good.

1. Key off: 12.7 VDC
2. Key on: 11.9 VDC
3. At idle: 13.1 VDC
4. 2500 rpm: 12.9 VDC
5. 5000 rpm: 12.9 VDC
6. Key off: 13.0 VDC

I'll check the stator output later this week.
Hopefully, that is OK.
Also, new ground cable on order.

Guess it was a good time to upgrade.

 

[Baatfam]

Did the stator test this morning.

Lead to lead: 92 vac, 89 vac, and 88 vac

Leads to grnd: Essentially zero for all three.

So I am calling the stator good, and moving forward with the Sh775 install.

Mr. Bull, you hit the nail on the head. Perfect!

Hi Bob. I cant get any pictures for you right now and not sure if there were changes between 81 and 82. But I moved the ignitor over to where the old reg/rec was located and the SH775 almost fit perfectly where the ignitor used to be. I say almost because I think I had to file the holes on the mounting tabs on the SH775 just slightly.

As you said, the SH775 fits nicely on the igniter bracket, and the igniter fits nicely where the old RR was.
The igniter bracket bolts have an approx. 73mm spacing. Using a dremel, I just elongated the mounting holes on the SH775 by about 2-3mm.



The igniter just need a second hole drilled to fit on the left side. The wires were plenty long enough.


New ground cable will be here today. (Partzilla - ordered Monday, here today) Wire it all up tomorrow.

Morning Bob, glad I could help. Steve

 

[Baatfam]

And I do appreciate it, Steve!

All done, except for tidying up the wires. The SH775 fits real well, and the new voltage numbers are good.

Before -- After
1. Key off - 12.66 -- 12.50
2. Key on - 11.92 -- 11.84
3. Idle ---- 13.1 ---- 13.5
4. 2500 --- 12.9 ---- 14.2
5. 5000 --- 12.9 ---- 14.5
6. Key off - 13.0 ---- 13.3

I'll ask. What are these parts and what do they do for us?

Well no one talks about this top secret upgrade. Kinda hush-hush, but for you....

Longitudinal. You can read the “my charging system Sorted” thread linked in my signature. Will give you an idea of how and why the most popular upgrade on a Suzuki GS is a better Regulator/Rectifier than what came on the bike.

Perfect....Thank you....

There was two of you that recently dealt with this, (which is what pushed me to do mine), but I couldn't find either one quickly.

And I am glad I did mine, before it quit completely.

 

[Rich82GS750TZ]

I still have the good Triumph connectors in a baggie on my workbench to replace the original ones I bought that had to be crimped and put together. I know my crimps weren't the best and I will put the replace with the Triumph plugs this winter when I do some other wiring upgrades.

OK... I just saw that the electrical section is swarming with posts on this topic. According to Steve, mine already has a Honda upgrade. But I do notice that the other lights dim when the signals flash on.
