New OEM Polaris SH775 price drop

[trevor]

So with all the experts gathered together....Could someone tell me what regulator I have on my 1100E?
It never looked stock to me....

It kinda looks like my stock one on my 83 gs750ed

[Redman]

Okay.
Trusting you guys.

Just now ordered one.
6th one sold, it said, of 10 available............
.............

Today it says 7 sold, so not going too fast.

Received mine Saturday. Looks exactly like pictured, the same part number SH775AA.
And the 71001103 number is the same. THe number on lower portion is somewhat different, maybe that some date of manufacture number or something.

Have yet to procure the connector/harness (and I need to get organized to order lots of other parts too, but that is another story).


One curious thing: THe auction description says "ships from Arizona", but the return address and the zip of the postage machine is Buffalo Grove Illinois. Probably some significance to that, but now sure what. I suspect some ebay sellers arrange for the auctions, but hire someone else to receive the stuff in bulk from some suppler and to do the handling and shipping. Or maybe the opposite: someone orders the stuff in bulk and does the packing shipping, but hires someone else to arrange the ebay auction

During the last couple of years of trying to find parts as I need them while traveling I've sent messages to eBay sellers asking if I can pick up parts in person. It seems that a common answer is "No, the part is shipped from one of our warehouses" which leads me to believe there's a lot of resellers sourcing the parts from a central supplier. I'm pretty sure that genuine Suzuki parts works the same way.

I suspect, with the SH-775 now being an obsolete part from Polaris, they might have off-loaded a bunch of them for a favourable price to some third party, who's now disposing of them in the most effective manner. I still think they're genuine, and I'd hate to be wrong about that. If they're fakes, they're damned good ones.
However, the appearance of the 4016868 means that if the supply of SH-775s does eventually dry up, we still have a source of series RRs at a good price.

I bought a used 4016868 off ebay with with connectors for under 20 shipped. Currently working on installing it on my 82 gs1100e

Interesting to note that.
I suppose that is not a problem.

Soo .. i usually make it a point not to cross-post but this is info
that i think should be in this thread :

What may be of interest : seller made a mistake on the customs declaration,
which cost me extra on import charges.
The seller immediately responded, and offered to refund the amount
i had lost, and did.

Just saying, stand-up seller as far as i am concerned.

Do you really think Rock Auto has every part from every manufacturer in stock ?
They consolidate the inventory procuring and advertising process and ship from the store rooms of their partners.
While Rock Auto may be based in Madison Wi. they will ship parts from all over the country .
Amazon started in similar fashion and grew into these giant warehouses from which to ship many common items.
