I have not put them together yet, but this an equally amazing piece of kit. I have teh CF which is what I took all the data from including the drop in oil temperature.
With the proper connections you shoudl have no electrical problems for a while.

R/R and stator
I went with a Compufire R/R unit and a electrosport stator on my last rebuild of my charging system. It was simple and seems to be working great. This makes my 6th system since I've had the bike. 1980 GS750ET. Hopefully my last.Comment

Taking a look at RM Stator's webpage, the RM30302 rectifier for a GS550 fits a lot of other bikes, such as a DR650 and Kawasaki KZ1000. Makes me wonder if a stock KZ1000 rectifier will work on a GS550, GS650, GS1000 etc.

My stock R/R failed the diode test so I just ordered an FH010BA. Can't wait to get it in and mounted up.
Anyone know of a good place to order the Furukawa connectors? I searched and couldn't find a place besides some site with "beaver" in it's name. When I tried to purchase through paypal, it tried to charge me over $900 in shipping. Might be a scam. Good thing I didn't click send payment.Comment

Cool thanks. I have it set up with spades right now and it works great. I will probably order those and put them in this winter when I go over my wiring harness.Comment

UGGGGG!!!!! Argggg????
So please tell me or show me were the R/W and G/W are supposed to go???
I just finished a successful install of a new Electro Stator and RR on a 1978 750E. I want to make sure the last two wires go in to the correct spot.
The link code to the diagram has been moved and is not showing here at all.
Thanks so much
Here is a schematic of the older Suzuki type charging system, it has not changed much. Note that the W/G and W/R wires are plugged into each other. This used to be the older method of switching that phase into the circuit when the headlights were switched on. This was later removed and connected as shown below as the wiring, connectors and switches in this part seemed to fail after some time. Correct this on your bike if not already done.
Here is a later (early 1980's) type regulator showing the actual switching of the 3rd phase for the headlights. Around that time the bikes still had the wiring running to the front but was just plugged together as is shown on the wiring diagrams.

Hi,
Go to BassCliff's website (http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/) and use the GS1000G 1980 wiring diagram (Color). The modification is shown on that one.Comment

Phew! I've finally finished reading all 27 pages/265 posts of this thread. Its been very interesting and informative, to say the least. Like many of us, I'm on a budget. I'm presently waiting on a replacement for the 6 month old RM Stator that burned up last week. I installed one of Duaneage's last r/r's at the same time I replaced the stator, cleaned all connections that weren't soldered and created a heavy duty common ground. I don't have any additional loads on my system so I was surprised when the stator coils grounded out.
Anyway, in light of having a new stator on the way I thought I'd look into possible upgrades to the r/r. I was contemplating biting the bullet on a CycleElectrics CE601 but have to consider an FET type r/r from the list for the sake of saving some $$ while minimizing the chance of future charging problems.
I would VERY much appreciate opinions of which way I should go.
Thanks,

Out of curiosity.....this duaneage R/R that you had installed- was it a Shindengen or a chinese knock off? Did you have a sense wire connected to brake switch? When my stator finally went (one leg shorted to ground), my R/R was uneffected and I let it stay.1981 gs650L

I'm sorry I can't answer your 1st question but did have the sense wire to the brake switch wire. Having just rec'd a PM from posplayer, I believe I'll be upgrading my r/r to a Series type. It just comes down to getting one at an affordable price. FWIW, if I have to postpone getting a new r/r I will move the sense wire on the present unit to the coil relay mod output wire.

Guys, what are the odds that a reg/rec for a Harley Softail would look exactly the same as the OEM unit, but not be a series type regulator? I ask, because there seems to be quite a few very reasonably priced units for sale on that auction site. Case in point:
".....BRAND NEW BLACK VOLTAGE REGULATOR FITS 2001-2006 HARLEY DAVIDSON SOFTAIL
REPLACES OEM PART#'S 74540-01 (BLACK) AND 74610-01 (CHROME)
PRODUCT OF USA...."
If it's a series unit, it would be quite the affordable upgrade for $60, no?
Heck, this one even says it's a series type. for $75.

I may be mistaken because I refuse to work on Harleys but friends who do have told me that they use a two wire (single phase) stator output. Someone will confirm or disprove this which is part of the reason for posting.
The other is that a two wire unit is not compatable with a 3 phase stator.
Some of the Harleys are reported to produce 40+ amps. so that would be more that sufficient VVR capacity. 5 wires so could be three stator wires, ground and DC output....
