    Let me know if you want to let go of the extra one, don't NEED it but making the switch before I do makes some sense. PM me if you're interested.

        At least you have verified that the thing switches off when it sees no load.
        Not many have done that

            Damn. Thanks for pointing out the glaring error in my installation. I'll give it another shot tomorrow. I had already successfully installed a SH775 on the old 650 so didn't feel the need to re-read any instructions. Apparently I was wrong.

            That said, the first SH775 was connected to the battery neg and the pos pigtail connection in the wiring harness, and was not charging, or at least it looks to be that way because I ended up with a dead battery after a ride. That said, considering my installation error that may not be the case. I'll test both and report back.

            Thanks for catching this!
            Glad that's cleared up for you! Maybe you're like me... I read up on a procedure to the Nth degree, I feel all smart like Dr. McCoy putting on the fancy lucite helmet to get the skillz to wire Spock's brain back up, I do the job, then I lose it all, I got nothin'. But hey my bike charges till the cows come home!
