r/r query
after reading some of the letters posted, i bought a r1 r/r of ebay and today decided to change it, but after taking the fairing off i found a finned r/r already on, is this the normal r/r or did the previous owner change it already? its got no serial number just "tour max- high performance equipment" on it, also, is there anyway of knowing if they changed the cct on it for a manual one?

Re: r/r query
if you read the forum, most people say change the honda one, their shite
Re: r/r query
Re. R/R On the back or bottom should be a serial no beginning in SH (shindengen) - I believe that is OEM - IS your storm pre2000 or a later model? The main thing is that it isn't an unfinned fryable one.

Re: r/r query
new Storms had a finned part which is much better than the old version [but should be a Honda part no], or previous owner added an aftermarket part which fits the honda connector. you should be OK without changing it

& you cant say that about the tensioners... you dont want to wait til they break!
if its a known fault and yours hasnt been done, get it sorted.
keep the old one as spare... you might be able to pull someone out the sh1t with it if theirs goes.
or you could just say i told you so

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.
