I have access to a used cbr600f3 r/r and a brand new f4i r/r that I will be trying out tonight. Does anybody know of any reason these two wouldn't work?

The 3 yellow connect to the three wires (yellow, white/blue, white/red) coming from the stator in any order. That's right, the order does not matter. Really.

The two red wires are basically just redundancy -- connect BOTH red wires to the red wire on your bike.

The two green wires go to ground. This is probably a black wire on your bike, but it is best if you run a good solid ground wire from the battery to a point on the chassis from the battery and then connect the R/R to that.

The black wire is the sense wire -- it must be connected to a switched positive. You'll need to find a wire that's live when the key is on and splice it into that. You can't just hook it up to the positive or the battery will slowly drain. You can't just ignore it or the regulator will overcharge.
 
one more R/R to add to the list that will work '82-4'ish gold wing gl1000
I.D. # shindengen sh541c-12
 
just picked up a SH538-12 from a GL1100 on ebay for $.99. It tested good and is on "the list" so I expect good results.

Every once in a while .... a real bargain! ....just had to share .....

I have had that same regulator on mine for about 2 years now, haven't had a problem since the 'conversion'. When i was going through this fiasco then, I found pretty much any 'bigger-biked' Honda regulator would work. Bought mine for $5, and charges at 14.8V after 1900 RPM.
 
I have compiled a longish spreadsheet with the name and model of regulators, most of the info skimmed from various internet sources and also the couple in this thread. I would gladly share it, but does anyone know what would be the best way to publish the list here that allows for easy update?:-k
Its in Excel at the moment.
Uploading and giving a download link causes problems when I edit it as the link changes. I tried pasting it as a text file but it does not work too well and is too difficult to read then.

What about a PDF file Andre and add it to your link of stuff in Firefly, Firefox, whatever
 
FWIW I offer a Honda RR wired with proper connectors for almost all GS bikes that bolts into the original holes. Some of the other regulators have different bolt hole spacing which can make it difficult to mount. I include new connectors for the stator wires and fuse box lead as well as stainless steel mounting bolts to attach it with.

The kit is 40.00 delivered to the lower 48 and only slightly more overseas. I can usually ship the next day.
 
FWIW, I just wanted to add that I'm a happy, satisfied customer of Mr. duaneage. His units are wired and ready to bolt on, no hassle. It sure beats paying three times as much for the aftermarket units.

I'm not saying that you can't pick up a compatible unit cheaper on ebay, but you're taking a bit of a chance. Mr. duaneage is a sure thing.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Don, that is what I may have to do. The problem is that every time I have to update to either add or fix something, I will have to do the change in Excel, convert to PDF and upload to Mediafire. The link then also changes everytime you do an upload. I will gladly share the file, but was hoping to keep it from becoming a major job. The file at the moment has 6 columns and 228 rows and will grow in rows. I could possibly reduce the columns if needed.
The text file seems to lose all the tabbed columns and jumbles all the info together when you review it after pasting it into the text area, so an edit can only be done after posting it, otherwise the post will be garbage.
I am hoping that someone has a method that can work, then adding a R/R or correcting something will be as easy as editing any post.:)
Thanks for the reply.

Just looked that one up again and found a small data pdf that states this new one at 50 A So gave the benefit of the doubt. Wonder which bikes use these.
