Swapping in a 775?

There are some interesting dimensional differences. Take a look here:

The 009 is a much 'meatier' unit! I measured a difference of about 6mm in depth of the bolt holes, so you'll need shorter fasteners, or washers. Look at how much more cooling is provided on the 775!
 
Which is which; not clear. The one on right with deep fins is sh775?

Yep, here's my install in my spare R/R location-tight fit, but readily accessible.It's actually mounted on a aluminum plate.

Now, here is a person who believes in redundancy. Not a fan of long walks in unfamiliar territory, I take it?

So your primary (operational) R/R is still under the battery box somewhere?
 
After testing the SH775, I'm convinced it's the way to go- so it's my primary R/R. Should it behave oddly, I can fall back on the backup shunt R/R under airbox (all wiring in place and ready to go !)
 
Yes, it's a bit bigger unit. Here's the size comparison to the Honda R/R

I mounted my SH-775 on the right side of the battery box, where the defunct turn signal control box was. The bolt heads are round allen head, so they don't contact the battery at all.

Where did you get the plug connectors and can you post a connection diagram for us electrically challenged folks? I just got my 775 today.

Plug connectors came from Eastern Beaver:

http://easternbeaver.com/Main/Elec__Products/Connectors/R_R_Connectors/r_r_connectors.html

About 1/2 way down the page, you'll find these:

NEW! - FH012/010 Connectors with Leads

Those will fit the SH775. Yellow leads are to the stator leads. Polarity not important. Red is +12V output. Black to battery negative terminal.

EDIT: I got the shorter leads - they're plenty long enough.

There's also this (or one similar, if this listing ends). Bring your own wire and inline fuseholder and you can roll your own.

They specify Furukawa connectors, so they almost have to be open barrel like Eastern Beaver's (which is what I bought), so if you don't have an open barrel crimper, the finished Eastern Beaver set that 850GT_Rider pointed out might still be less expensive overall.

A third option is to use the 1/4" connectors and seal the openings yourself in a way you're comfortable with.
 
Thanks. Apparently the SH775 is already an obsolete unit? From what I just read it seems the newer units are using Mosfets and the SH775 doesn't?

You got somemore reading to do! While the SH775 doesn't have the current output of some of those mosfet units (which most of us don't need), it's a series R/R so it has a big advantage over any (no matter how big) shunt R/R.

Not sure why it would be "obsolete", it is part of the Polaris part line-up and started in some of the 2011 models.

Just that the yamaha versions of this type of regulator seem to be more up to date with the latest components. An R1 r/r perhaps?
 
That being said, I was just wondering if indeed it is the case. If the SH775 is the previous tech and the new, better way is going with a, granted more expensive, Yamaha unit, what is the down side?

down side is buying a SHUNT R/R and burning up your stator.
 
How much is this Yamaha R/R?

You can get a Polaris series R/R (the SH775) for less than $65. :D

Better hurry- sooner or later Polaris will "adjust" the price.
As an aside, my SH775 came in Polaris box that said made in USA ! Hmmm
