    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...

    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.

FH-011AA R/R install questions

I need some help with hooking up a FH-011AA R/R on my 1983 GS1100GK. The only place this R/R is mentioned in the forums is in the replacement list. Here are my questions:
1. Which connector is the positive and which is the negative?
2. Will I need to change any fuses or any other electrical part since this is a 50 amp R/R?
3. This R/R is huge, will placing it where the horns are be a problem due to the proximity to the engine and exhaust? I thought I could attach to the bottom of the battery box but I think the swing arm will hit it.
4. Can I plug new wires into the present R/R connector and run these wires to the new R/R?
Any Help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The yellows are the stator connections, black is negative and red is positive. (the same for yours)

Thanks for answering my questions so fast. The picture is a great help.
What is the gray stuff in the connections in the picture and will it be necessary for me to do the same.
Thanks for your help

Not sure what he used, but it is recommended to solder the wires to the connections in the r/r, then seal it all. Some will say 'use RTV silicone', but that has to be done carefully, as silicone contains acetic acid, which does not help the electrical connections any. :-k
