I'm looking for a spare SH775,what's a fair price here ?

I'm running a great Reg/rectifier from a CBR900 Honda donor bike gifted to me from a very nice forum member in Detroit when I drove my GS450T from there back to Davis,Ca where I live.That item came in real handy when my stock one gave up in Wyoming,it got me home and has been 'Golden' ever since then.I don't expect it to 'go out' on me anytime soon but just in case I want to find a good spare,an SH775 standard 5-wire reg/rect that are available on many used Japanese motorcycles.
What do some of you gsr forum members usually charge each other to purchase one from each other here ?
 
The going rate for a "cheap" used one on ebay seems to be around $35-$45. I believe there is a forum member here that buys them used, and then tests them and sells them here. I'm sure they'll be along shortly if I'm remembering correctly.
 
They occasionally show up at $35 but the price has been rising. A lot of the cheap units are FHxxx parts which look the same as the SH775. If someone has the time and the ebay photo doesn't show the lettering then you could message the seller and ask them to look at the unit and provide more info. A lot of sellers won't jump through hoops for a $35 sale though so don't be surprised if they don't respond back.

Usually, it's not the R/R that "goes out". It's the R/R that causes the stator to overheat and "go out".

As far as I know, there are no SH775 R/Rs that were standard on any motorcycle, let alone 'many used Japanese' bikes. The best source for them (other than new) is from Polaris side-by-side vehicles and SeaDoo personal watercraft.

Since we would have to do the shopping, then purchase, wait for shipment, test, ship to you, etc., most of us are more likely to send you the results of a search and let you do your own shopping, but Nessism has been doing some careful shopping to ensure that you would get a genuine article that works.

perhaps confusing with the guy (dunnage?) that gathered used Honda r/r (and modified the connectors) and then sold then. These are not the ones being asked about.

Steve,
I'm not quite sure I understand why you want to pick apart my post in a critical way,that is not helpful.
I am looking for this particular 5-wire SH775 (or equivalent)regulator and a bit of encouraging feedback is what I was hoping for.
I would appreciate it if you would be a bit more helpful with your feedback.
I will locate one of these either way,I can locate,purchase and test it.I must have assumed the wrong way that many of the members have done this improvement over their stock unit and might have access to them or have an extra they would sell.
Thanks,Bill

Member 'mista M'(solid dude and a good person to know)who helped me when I was new to the forum and had questions helped me find a long list of different 5-wire regulator/rectifiers from many different brands and model bikes that will work on the GS bikes.They don't all say SH775 on them but are compatible and will do the same job as the SH775.
 
They are NOT compatible as they are Shunt style much like Suzuki's OEM; there are only two known Series type RRs (Compufire and the Shindengen SH-775) and they are both very expensive.

Also, a bit thin skinned? His answer was very honest, straight forward, and complete with what he has said. Many of us have done the upgrades but no one just keeps them sitting around once it's done as there's no need.
 
I think I understand.

I want to be sure to have a spare,not the most common part to have on the shelf in most places.I like taking long,multiple day rides, it would sure be a pain if I didn't have a spare.

Once you have an SH-775 you'll probably never use the spare one you buy.
I have a spare one, just in case. It's been sitting on the shelf for a few years now. I'm glad it's there, and I will eventually use it on the other bike, but probably never as a replacement for the one I'm currently using.

The two cheapest SH775s I see on Ebay right now:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2008-SEA-DOO-GTI-130-SE-RECTIFIER-VOLTAGE-REGULATOR-710001103/283558950051

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Can-am-Sea...ulator-Module-Computer-710001103/303154711690

The second doesn't have a pic of the markings so no guarantee it's a genuine SH775. I've also seen what looks like new SH775s for $100.

Hi Jordan,
I spoke with the seller on the second one,he said he didn't see any markings.. I wish I had seen that first one you linked, Wow looks good !
I found a genuine one yesterday for 45.00 shipped.
I am going to test the one I have installed in my GS;the bike is not charging(discharging)at idle and only getting 13.5 at rpm.

I'm sorry the facts that I pointed out do not meet with your expectations, I was hoping to show you that some of your expectations were not quite correct.

You said you were looking for "an SH775 standard 5-wire reg/rect that are available on many used Japanese motorcycles." You should be applauded for looking for a SH775 R/R, I was just pointing out that it is NOT available on many used Japanese motorcycles. I don't know when they were first made, but they showed up on Polaris side-by-side vehicles about 2012. We have since found that they are available on some SeaDoo watercraft, but I don't know what years or models.

I did mention that most of us are not likely to have a spare sitting around, as they do not tend to fail. I even mentioned that it would be quicker for you to do your own search and purchase, rather than paying what would essentially be a middle-man. I see there are a couple of links to inexpensive units. They happen to be genuine SH775 units, so either one could be purchased with confidence.


As a last resort, feel free to put me on your ignore list, you will see nothing else that originates from my keyboard.

I had an incident with the charging system. Luckily the stator escaped with no damage at all.
Paid ?100 to a Polaris dealer up top of the mountain for the genuine article.
Compared with what I could have been facing it seemed a good deal.

Well,
Sorry, I was misunderstood. I see what you mean.
The SH775 is not just a common '5 wire' reg/rect.

Hi Brendan,
I'm glad you were able to only replace the reg/rect unit And that you sourced an SH775.
I broke down in Wyoming last year(oem style r/r)and member 'mista M' had given me a used SH678c-13 which I installed into my wiring harness(one of the wires in my harness was over heated and I never dealt with the hurried install I needed to do,just kept riding the bike..),so I tested my stator continuity yesterday it looks all good. I tested the SH678c and found it faulty.I just recd the used SH775 in the mail yesterday,will test it today. I'm hoping for 'two thumbs up',then will install and read the meter.
