D.I.Y Rectifier - Regulator.....with less than 10 euro

[Normk]

Yes, within reason the wires can be extended as far as needed.

Since I'm running a sidecar on my 850 I have alot of room.Can I mount the RR anywhere??,if I buy a bigger than stock one can I just make all the wires longer and mount the RR maybe between the sidecar and the bike ( out in the wind to keep it cooler??).

How hard would it be to just use 3 Fet's between the stator and rectifier and regulate load in a series fashion.
And on the output of the rectifier have a shunt circuit if the voltage goes above 14v but instead of shunting, reroute the signal to control the Fet's to reduce the output.

The only hard part would be regulating the Fet for a proper voltage.

Its been a while since I've dove into electronics but I hope the idea is sound.

Synchronous rectification is required for series regulation.

Has anyone checked out this place for rectifiers/regulators, made in USA, seems to know his stuff. If they are as good as he says they are not a bad price,

I am currently waiting on a stator and R/R from the US to put into my GS1100G, regards Neil

Why spend $95 for those when the SH-775 costs less? I don't understand the logic?

Yes, I know of them... He used to advertise his RR as a Series unit.

I bought one to test & Posplayr put a scope on it to see if it really was a series unit & it wasn't. In fact it was a very simple Shunt unit that only regulated on 1 leg from memory. Not very sophisticated at all & not worth what he is charging for them.

You would be far better off with a used Shindengen unit.

I'm not sure I believe the "made in the USA" comment either. I think he buys them in & re-packages. He might buy them from someone here in the USA but I suspect they were made overseas.

They are in business and advertise; they really don't understand the difference between a Series R/R and a Shunt v.s. FET.

I should add that the shipment was prompt, no problem there & he seems to have removed his "Series" statement from his website about the RR so not intentionally miss-selling.

Note there was "no returns" available to me....

Personally I can not abide by selling SHUNT and SERIES R/R's right side by side. Either he knows the difference and sells them anyway just to make more money or he doesn't know the difference . I don't like it any way it comes out.

The only exception would have been the old Honda 6 wire R/R's and SERIES because those Honda's for some reason avoided many of the same issues of the other SHUNT R/R's.
