Oh Shyte
Well I just got the part - Note to All: Do Not use USPS to ship overnite - bought from Inde off Fleabay & since USPS needs a signature for their Express Mail - my mech just got the package, but had to pick up @ local PO - not really convenient, when UPS or FedEx just leaves it...I know a bit picky - but if it was delivered yesterday, then...
I would have known 24 hrs ago that the part is different than mine. The plugs do not match!!!!!!!!!!!
My mech is messing around w/ my plastic connector plug to modify so it fits - should know within the hr if it works
Crossing fingers
I'm suppose to leave tomorrow @ 7am for road trip

On my Transalp, there is a pair of them located under my seat, and they were a problem because the weight of the rider would work the soldered points till they broke. When that happened, no sparky, no ridey...
Long story short, servicehonda.com was the cheapest place I found new ones. Almost one third the price of anyone else... just sayin...

not yet. it definitely is the converter unit since, my buddy - where vtr is located - borrowed a converter from another '02 hawk & mine fired up. Thus, I need to order a new 1, but I'm out of commission anyway - broke my right wrist, don't ask

I can confirm that they work when swapped between years... The only reason for the different design is that on the older ones they are mounted lying flat in the ***... On the newer ones they sit outside the subframe by the R/R... So the plug is mounted where it's easy to connect/disconnect... No other differences...

No picture, can't get one since mine aren't in the stock location either... I put them outside the frame like the newer ones...
Basicly they lay flat underneath the lock, held together by a rubber contraption...
