Anyone tried one? They sound to cheap to be dependable.

I wouldn't touch it.It reminds me of the Chinese brake disc.They don't care about kids Im sure they don't care about your bike.If it fries your wireing harness you'll wish you bought the gold plated ruby encrusted pope blesed **** star delivered one.Also all the positive feed back looks like it was written by the same person.

You might try one of these. http://www.electrosport.com/street/s...reet_46500.php
I have not used one because the cost is kinda high, but at least they have the cooling fins. I used one of an '07 R6. The mod only took about an hour or so and it is working great.

I bought a used R/R from a R1 '01. It has cooling fins and are known to last. I also installed a cpu cooling fan since the air flow around the R/R wasn't good enough with the Agusta tail. Before the fan was installed the R/R got quite hot when riding on hot summer days, but now those problems are long gone!!

+1 for the R/R off of a R1/R6. And the 1 hour to replace is about right. Make sure that you take the time to heat shrink the connections and solder them. This is not something that you want to fail.

The R/R went out on my 98 Hawk.The problem is that Honda did not use a R/R with a cast heat sink (cooling fins). Remember that 30-40 amps go through this unit and that generates a lot of heat,leading to premature failure. I bought an Electro sport replacement from Dennis Kirk for $95 ( DK part # 201247). Its a bit pricey,but has an aluminum heat sink,stock connection and very good reliability. Well worth the investment.
Cheers!!
