Anyone looking for a low cost SH775 harness?

Crimp on spade terminals sealed in electrical safe RTV. Works just fine and you can more easily bend the wires than when using a bulky connector if your application needs that.

How low is low cost? And why are you selling? Did you not like it on your bike?

I think it's just an example of what you can do yourself.

Correct. It's easy to do and it works. Not the prettiest solution, but effective.

Mine was done the same way without the sealer, I used barrel crimps to patch it into the old harness since it was done in an "emergency" situation. Knowing that by sealing it there was no way to disconnect the new regulator from the bikes main harness, I held out for the opportunity to get the $8 regulator harness and solder the joints into the existing main harness which allows me to disconnect it.

If someone wants to be able to remove the R/R all they need to do is attach crimp on terminals to the loose wires.

- Connect the stator wires with the R/R input wires. Be sure to bypass the original harness wires on the bike. You can use crimp on spade or bullets if you want to be able to remove the R/R easily in the future.

- R/R negative goes to the battery. A ring terminal will allow attaching the wire directly to the battery post.

- R/R positive output wire goes to the same place the original R/R plugged into the harness, usually using a bullet terminal. This line Tee's and one leg goes to the ignition switch and thus, feeding the bikes needs. The other leg goes though the fuse box and then over to the battery.

When mine went on my 82 450 I mounted the 775 under the cover on the opposite of the bike where the tool kit would have been, that's right above the battery. The harness was cut off where the wires enter the old regulator and re-routed over the frame toward the other side where the new one is. It ended up about 4-5 inches short and some extra wire was crimped on there to make it over to the regulator, the ground off the 775 goes directly to the battery. Looks like the snow will be flying soon but I'm sure it won't stick around long. When the bike does come off the road I'll be in need of something to do and running directly to the stator output will be done.

You might want to redo your wiring per the guideline provide earlier. Running the stator feed through the main harness can lead to melt down because one leg goes up to the hand control connector before it heads back towards the R/R. Resistance in this convoluted path can lead to excess heat and result in harness damage.
