    gs450 reg/rec replacement

    Hello all, just a quick question, is there a reg/rec replacement that I can get for my gs450 that is new? Some kind of aftermarket? I really don't want to take a stab in the dark for an eBay one. Any info would be great. thanks.

    Do some reading in this link - don't buy anything other than series R/R,unless you enjoy living dangerously!

      Go the SH775 but you'll have to be creative about where to mount it if your 450 is stock or close to it... it's a hell of a lot larger than the stock one!

        If you're looking for cheap and easy, look on eBay for a R/R from a GS500. It will bolt in the exact same location, but the wires might need some attending to.

        Not as nice as a series r/r, but I've never had an issue with mine.

          I run the SH775 and like it quite a bit, (as much as one could 'like' a R/R). As Pete pointed out, it is a heck of a lot larger than the OEM one!
