Sonreir said:For anyone else reading this thread at a later point, a more cost effective approach to replacing the Suzi GS R/Rs is to make use one one from a Honda GL1000. They're usually in the $20-$30 range (excluding shipping). Some wiring will be needed.
These will work all the way up through the mid 90s.
Thanks for your input Sonreir . Good advise for those who maybe want a straight swap.
Is the GL1000 a series R/R?
I ask because the polaris upgrade is apparently popular because it is a series and can cope with newer LiFePo4 batteries and the like. Difference being the way it senses and reacts to charge levels.
Just wanted to differentiate between the older style Honda and Suzuki and the newer polaris R/R's (these will sting you about 75 US Dollars new)
Please tell me if I am on the right track or not.
Remember to I am not running a stock GS electrical system . Mine is severely lightened of a lot of non essentials....(i don't even run a fuel level gauge anymore! wiggle test is good enough for me
