Someone had thread about how to tell the differences between a real SH775 and knockoffs. Anyone saved that thread? I searched dates back to 2018 and hadnt found it yet.

The fakes don't have "SH775" printed on the top fin. They also, typically, have black potting compound sealing the back, instead of an aluminum backplate.Ed

My computer speakers are shot. I also see that Honda CB1100 R/Rs have the same plug set up. Think the one i saw on ebay was for a 2014???? Anyway theres options other than the SH775. I also saw the tutorial on converting honda units on bikecliffs. Click on the electrical section below the manual selections board to see the tutorial.
EDIT... Link to the honda unit with the honda part number........

Get a SH775, it's SERIES type and helps protect your stator.
I just bought one off ebay for $25 shipped. They are out there.
Search under Can Am, Sea Doo, Polaris, Indian, Harley Davidson "regulator" and then toggle "used"
Look for SH775 printed on the top fin. If you find one that looks clean, but no photo of the top fin, message the buyer and ask.
One caution: look at the locking tabs on the plastic connector. They break off if the bike breaker is hamfisted.Ed

I think the BA units were Polaris, the AA units were SeaDoo.
One other quick thing to look for is those little round 'towers' shown in Rich's picture.
They are only on the real ones.
As Ed mentioned, the quickest way to sort through is to only look for "used" and posibly add "US only" for location.Comment
