    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...

    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.

SH775 on a Katana

I just bought a used SH775 RR for my Katana. The RR on the Kat is exposed on the left side and is smaller than the SH775. Ideally I'd swap them out but the SH775 will not fit in the available space. Has anyone successfully installed a sh775 on a Katana? I'm even considering leaving the old RR in place for cosmetic reasons and finding another spot to mount the SH775.

Cheers!

Take the fusebox off and have another look at the available space.
Some have used small plates as adaptors.
The R/R is kind of important.
I would give it the prime spot and maybe drop the fusebox a few inches.

It won't be that simple. The mounting plate is quite full with no room to move anything. I may have to relocate the fuse box as you suggest, but to another location altogether.
 
Seems to me looking at Katanas, there's LOTS of room to mount it if you give up on perfectly stock appearance. ...I'd cut some clamps from flat tin stock and grab on to those tubes in all that empty space!! Look at why I had to do with an SH232 (or 8? ) on a 400 and Be Happy it's not harder!

Hi Gorminder,

I'm sure I can find a spot for it if need be, but I am trying to keep stock appearance as much as possible. I installed a SH775 on my GS650GL, and that was a fun job. There's not a lot of empty space to play with on that one!

Cheers!

Indeed! sorry to blurt-(I do appreciate you want a Better Idea...(and- for what it's worth, I'm thinkin' on it... ) ie: the dead one as Dummy solves appearance...perhaps just bolt the SH775 under the battery box like my 650 does....I would want the r/r in moving air...and rejected under-seat ideas for that reason on mine...
