    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.

Does anyone have any advice on the best way to fit an electrosport r/r? As you all know it's bigger and on my bike, it interferes with the battery holder. Thanks in advance
 
Sorry, in my haste to post my thread and get out of the house,I didn't specify that my bike is an 84 gs750es. Thanks for any advice.
 
It should be a drop in fit. Electrosport may have shipped the wrong part number. I would contact them and put the burden on them to supply the right part which fits your bike with no interference or modifications.
 
FYI, I called electrosport about this and it's the right part, bigger is better. They suggested using only 1 bolt for mounting. I rotated it 90 deg and viola. All is mounted.
 
Bigger is better (with one bolt) ONLY if the unit is designed to radiate heat away without depending on both bolts to help transmit it to the frame. Even though THEY recommended it, you may want to double check that they'll honor the warranty if it overheats.

Part of the reason OEM Suzuki units fail is that there isn't a lot of airflow, nor do the units manage to transfer enough heat to the frame, so they wind up frying themselves.

Hope this is helpful!
