RELAY, FUEL CUT
Anyone knows what does the Relay fuel cut do on a 1985 VF500 Interceptor? Relay is made by Shindengen and has printed on the back CF304 4.8 093. Could I use one from a Goldwing marked CF304 5.0 103 to replace this one?

Just based on the fact that different numbers generally mean different things I'd say no. I'm not sure what the fuel relay does, but both those bikes have fuel pumps so I'm guessing it involves that. Also, both bikes have dramatically different engines...
I'd call a dealer but I'm going out on a limb here by saying maybe you should just order a part made for your bike. I can still get everything for my 85 VF500 magna... should be possible for your bike too.

If it's just a normal 4 or 5-prong relay you should be able to use it IF it's rated for the same amperage. But you'd need to contact either Honda or Shindengen to find you the stats. Worst case scenario, you could cause a fire from using an insufficiently rated relay on your bike for your application.
