Re: another vr bites the dust
I need to get one as well. My headlights go dim every now and then. Is your modded to the newer one? I think Im going OEM or something newer that will plug and play. YZF600?? Plug and play?
Re: another vr bites the dust
not sure on what exactly is plug and play
mine has a non stock, might be the nrewer FZR unit, its plug and play and finned but seems too small for the place its mounted

Re: another vr bites the dust
Unfortunatly I just fried an R6 VR
I'm either gonna mount it to an aluminum plate or toss on a computer fan.

Re: another vr bites the dust
The R6 VR is not bullet proof either. It is of an inheriently better design to disapate heat. My buddy roasted his R6 VR on his R6 while we were at Deals Gap last month. Still worth the $$$ and effort to convert in my book.

Re: another vr bites the dust
You guys just need to do what I did. I've actually been thinking about making a few and selling them. Pictures are better at explaining.

I can't find the pictures of it in parts but the lower plate is recessed to have the VR drop in a little and then the heat sink is on top. Used some nice computer chip thermal grease and haven't had any issues with my electrical ever. It's still the 92 stock VR.

I found them! I did clean up the sink a little after that pic. I didn't have a file that would fit so I had to go buy one.

Re: another vr bites the dust
yeah maybe i'll extend the wires and mount that baby outside the frame . It's the same story for my ignition control module and the coil on my Z28 . They are mounted on the front of the left side cylinder head . Maybe the engineers were paid to do these type of things in order for us to get replacement parts down the road . Make the money go around . Or Not .....................
Re: another vr bites the dust
oh im going to mount it to some 6061 t6 and use some of my leftover thermal compound from my last CPU build...........

Re: another vr bites the dust
Those are great ideas! I need to order one. You say that is a stock one and with no problems once mounted like that? Thats awesome.
