got my regulator... now what?

[shadowfist]

just find another switched wire (that is ON only when the key in the ignition is on - such as the main wire from the ignition to the fusebox) and dont wory about the headlight

i thought i should maybe repeat myself

many suggested the headlight wire, but my bike has a switch for the headlight and the other issue is that it has no fusebox so i don't even know where to start looking for these wires that i should attach to...

yeah, we all have to repeat ourselves sometimes don't we?
so where is the switched wire coming from the ignition going to be since it isn't heading into the fuzebox?

In the spirit of repeating ourselves:

If your tail light is not active with the light switch off, find another wire. You HAVE to have that sense wire connected to a switched wire. Use the horn wire if you have to.

Just in case your bike doesn't happen to have a horn wire, use the ignition lead. I KNOW you have an ignition lead.

so, question... after pulling the regulator and rectifier out i am confused..

we have three wires coming from the stator (which i will call yellow)

then we have three coming from the bike (red, red/white, green/white)
i figured out where the others plug in but what do i do to the green/white? originally it was plugged into the (green/white) yellow wire from the stator.

Use the live/switched wire on your rear brake light switch to connect the sense wire.

Now on your original wiring harness one of the phases from the alternator ran through the White/Green Tracer wire to the headlight switch and when the headlight switch was in the "ON" position the currecnt from that phase would come back to the rectifier via the White/Red Tracer. So now if you connect the three yellow wires from the Honda rectifier to the three wires from the alternator that is fine. The W/R and W/G wires can be insulated and taped out of the way. This circuit is no longer required.

The black wire from the rectifier goes to the brake light switch as explained before. The green wire/s go to the battery "-" and frame earth and the red wire connects to the red wire that goes through your single fuse. BTW you do not have a fuse box as others have indicated. You should only have a single fuse on that model GS750. Although a fuse box upgrade to blade type fuses would be a good option.

Follow LYNN's instructions on wiring as well. Good info there.

thanks! that is EXACTLY what i needed to know =D

No Probs SHADOW. That why we're here, to help each other out. It could be you helping me next time.
