Yes, I guess now is the time to replace both. I have been reading some older threads trying to find which stator to buy. The R/R wasn't hard to find (SH-775). What stator should I get?

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.

Yes, I guess now is the time to replace both. I have been reading some older threads trying to find which stator to buy. The R/R wasn't hard to find (SH-775). What stator should I get?
I found an Electrosport stator on ebay for $97. While looking for the R/R (saw that you recommended Compufire) Bing picked up on a conversation on another forum where they were talking about Compufire not being good for high revving engines but rather for Harley's and SH-775 being better for high revving. Care to comment--and if Compufire is the right direction, is there a model number and source that you would share?
I beleive high revving is 16K RPM; your GS redlines at 9.5K. I have seen no issues not heard of anything else other than this single report you found. I don't know of any comparison tests between SH-775 or Compufire. See link below for everything I know except there has been a newer Shindengen that has come around; even bigger.
Just read GS Stator in my signature.
The compufire is smaller than the SH-775 and I installed on in the stock location. See top of the page..................

Are you referring to this?
I did not bother to reread the thread but from my post 2 years ago it was the SH-775 that has the shortcomings not the compufire.

"is there a model number and source that you would share?" The the model number is in my signature, It took about two seconds to find this so I'm sure there are other sources (Amazon reminded me that I had purchased this item five years ago and I have had absolutely no problems with it): http://www.amazon.com/Compu-Fire-Regulator-3-Phase-Charging-Systems/dp/B0035U7LRM

Thank you. It took me a little longer to make sure I was looking at the right one but Amazon does seem to be have the best price.
No I hadn't seen that. I was referring to this:

Thanks again for bringing electrical engineering to the electrically challenged!
You are welcome,
But is this post you are looking for comment on?
If it is it is high revving issues with the SH-775.
Also look at where the source of the info is coming from. Jack at Roadstercycle.
I sells everything and anything apparently and with a nice markup. Does that make him a technical authority?

Oh, I missed the motive aspect of the post. I just figured you would know if there was an issue regarding the high revving--and you did.

I thought I had edited that last statement about Fake out. There was a fake Series R/R out there as listed in teh GS Stator thread, but it was NOT Roadstercycle. PLEASE REMOVE THAT SENTENCE FROM THE QUOTE BEFORE IT SPREADS ANY FURTHER.
You have to realize that the best information about GS cycles is here at the GSR(search here for info). Not to say that there is not a lot of good information on the web. There are other motorcycles where a MOSFET R/R works because it has different thermal characteristics.
Having said that from a fundamental engineering standpoint the Series architecture is hands down much better than SHUNT. SHUNT has been probably one of the worst elements of motorcycle electrical systems for the last 30 years.

OK I removed the reference from your quote in my post #50. You'll have to remove it from your post #49.
In post #50 it is still there......
I already edited this from #49.
I just don't want to imply that Roadstercycle is selling anything Fake, he just sells GENUINE of everything.
I see. I thought you meant the reference to Roadstercycle. I think I got the right line now. Good?
