R/R relocation kit

Drdubbya · July 20, 2016, 04:01:09 PM

Hey all, I was trying to avoid posting this because I know it's been discussed a lot, but are the R/R relocation kits that were being sold by Greg still available? I sent him a PM but noticed it didn't look like he'd been active for a while. Sorry if this has been converted but after searching around I couldn't find an answer.

Thank you!!!

Flame suit on.

Dennis.

Greg hasn't been active for a long time I don't think that he has any more of the relocation kits.

I figured as much. Thank you for confirming.

I understand steel isn't as good as of heat sink, but other than that is there anything wrong with making a bracket from plate steel and painting it?

I don't think so I know of others who have made there own brackets

I've had my Magna since 2005 and I replaced my original R/R in about 2007. As far as I know I have not had issues with it but I am not running a lot of extra accessories. I have Kuryakyn silver bullet halogen lights but only run those at night with cooler temperatures and occasionally I run a GPS that is hardwired into the battery. Both those accessories have their own relays.

So overall my experience as been pretty good. I know some other seem to burn through them pretty easily, just like some Magna's seem to eat cam chain tensioners.

If you're really set on relocating it, let's see if someone with the kit can take photos. It's probably not too hard to fashion one...

Wasn't there some discussion about mounting a computer fan on the one in the stock position? Or some kind of wind / induction scoop?

Here's mine ... it's a Mosfet R/R from http://www.roadstercycle.com/. I simply cut a small aluminum plate to mount it to and secured it with a pair of stainless steel hose clamps, which I cut slots for in the plate.

Thank you! Was the install difficult for that mosfet unit?

Not at all but you do have to cut the stock connector off and splice in a new one. I'd say fabricating the plate and getting it mounted was the majority of the effort.
