    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    2 regulators installed? Why me

    I am waiting for a few supplies before I can reroute/reconnect everything and see what is happening with the existing (stock) RR. Needless to say those connectors in the pics are head for the trash, not for cleaning. I might find that the problem was those two connections, especially the pink...

    2 regulators installed? Why me

    Thats what the entire vfr community is using... The FH020AA- recommended by this guy as part of a kit he sells by the dozens to vfr guys- who seem to have almost as much trouble as GS folks with charging. http://roadstercycle.com/ Here's the part where I learn that it is much better than stock...

    And here is the connection from the harness to the solenoid! Yikes:

    2 regulators installed? Why me

    Yes, I am active on both forums. Just because this is a curious group, I will share some findings on the vfr... Charges at 12.4 or so at idle, rising very sporadically to 13 at 5k rpms- but not smoothly or consistently. The volt meter jumps up and down a bit... I have worked through the vfr...

    2 regulators installed? Why me

    Just circling back to the group with a "thank you". I am now charging within spec, and after fixing an oil leak (my fault) from the stator cover the bike is fired up. A few side exchanges with Posplayr helped me to sort out the previously butchered wires and get the SH775 connected ok- and yes...

    2 regulators installed? Why me

    I do have a diagram and factory manual, along with the one posted by posplayr. It shows the W/R wire as going to the ignition switch, and the G/Y wire as going to the oil pressure switch. That is what has been driving my concern- could I really just leave them orphaned and tape them off? I...

    2 regulators installed? Why me

    Phase 2- trying to avoid sparks Phase 2- trying to avoid sparks OK- am at the point stator installed, SH775 mocked up and ready to mount on panel, triumph part ready with bullet connectors installed, and a fully charged battery. My first/next step is to try to do a test start by hooking up...

    Reg/Rec ground question

    I am honestly not trying to be a wiseguy- but is that pic a joke? Per my recent thread, I am working through my own spaghetti level wiring work- steep learning curve. In doing so, I am trying to absorb the well intended advice of other folks here. Is the back of the battery a good spot to...

    2 regulators installed? Why me

    So Im still not at the point of wiring anything (hence, no 911 calls), but I do now have the stator in and apparently buttoned up, and now the RR. It only took a modest amount of demo to get it to fit...

    what are the two cylinders to the right of the regulator?

    2 regulators installed? Why me

    As far as mounting the SH775, the tank mount on my bike is different and it will not fit. After taking out the two RR's and the auxiliary connection, the side panel just MIGHT have enough room. I will need to measure carefully, and likely chop off that bracket next to the fuse panel. Stator...

    2 regulators installed? Why me

    And here is the other RR that was installed- seems to match a Rick's stock number to me. Doesnt matter I suppose- both have been removed now.
