Hi there,

you will always need the long-shaft version for a TR1. That being said, stock TR1s run a 2-brush starter in contrast to the later XV1100, which runs a 4-brush starter (and thus almost twice the torque). Only downside, the heavy-gauge wire from the solenoid to the post on the starter is longer as the 4-brush starter has the mounting point on the far end of the starter.

Also check ebay, lots of cheaper variants to be bought from there. Quality appears to be on par with all of them. (Probably just differently colored boxes really...)

Well worth the hassle though.

Cheers,
Greg
