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.

cyclepartswarehouse: 572 + 20 shipping to Italy, seems fait to me; otherwise follow duaneage suggestion.

I am planning to run the wires dirextly from the stator to re R/R without intermediate connections.

I might prove wrong, but from the deepness of my unfathomed ignorance (on about everything) I see the time as come to just do it this way and eventually assess the cons later..

If you wanna follow suit we might share experiences.

Going direct minimizes the voltage drops of dirty connections. When you solder just do it sparingly so you don't wick solder way up into the wires. Some is OK, but you should secure all the wires so that the wires cant flex and break off at the stiff solder joints.
 
thanks pos

Also me thinks having an intermeidiate connections, maybe (and I stress maybe) was the "price" to pay to third party contractors, for something (the R/R) tey (Suzuki) did not directly manufacture;

contractors had for economical reasons to cater for multiple configurations, so offering a pig tail might have seemed a reasonable prospect, with the likes of Suzuki, Yamaha etc laying their side of copper.

I repeat I might be wrong.

Well I already had a Honda RR there. Its currently wired into the harness grounded to a grounded block and directly connected to the stator. So am my cutting is done. All i will need to do crimp new ends and replace them.

oh and find a place to mount the darn thing..

Ah, that makes sense now. Yes, mounting is an issue. I haven't yet seen anything that I like very much that will work on my 1100E.

That is pretty decent, only $11 shipping. Total was a bit over $82 shipped which works out to ~$92 with exchange... As you can see, it is pretty hard for us to win buying OEM parts from the US these days. I think I will just eat the extra $5 and buy it local.

The Compufire, is much less trouble to mount, but costs a bit more. My install guide is for an 83 1100ED

Since at the moment, the GS is my only viable carriage and I would like to minimize the "pit stop" wouldn't you or fellow members have actual pics of what I am going to find inside the generator?

For instance when I remove the cover, the wires will face the inside of the carter, so, does it take a special tool/precautions to pull the stator apart?
 
I bought one from a Polaris dealer but they said they were on backorder at Polaris so it took a couple weeks.

Three screws hold stator to cover- there's also a metal brace that clamps wires tightly to case so rotor can't rub them.
