Is it possible to use a modern R/R on first gen???

Hi, i have an 86 700 with a bad rr, i thought i saw a post about using a newer model gsxr rr and am curious if it is doable for my application / which rr s to use
Thanks
Matt

 

There's a thread somewhere around here describing use of a GM truck R/R. I did it on my '84, bought from Autozone, slipped the blade-style pins (female) from the Honda plastic connector and they plugged right onto the blade-pins of the new R/R. Search existing R/R threads, I think he provides a picture and everything.

 

Here's a link to my thread about my R/R problem, and what I did to fix it: http://vfrworld.com/forums/first-second-generation-1983-1989/23635-regulator-rectifier.html

Hope it helps!!

thanks Paul!

 

I've bought a DZE replacement RR...it is bigger than the original but fits the bike without mods and the connector is already done...I've payed it 100€ in Italy...
