    I'm pretty sure they're all interchangeable, but I may be wrong, so hopefully someone chips in who knows.

    The alternative is Duanage as he's apparently the man when it comes to RR's on these things.

      Absolutely! PM duaneage and get a decent Shendengen/ Honda r/r!

      Wait- you said "I did some tests" - hopefully, you followed the stator paper tests to reach this conclusion!

        I've got a bag of used regulators, you are welcome to try one out, if you do the rest of the stator paper tests so it doesn't just fry also.

          Yes I've followed the stator papers, that was the first thing I did.

          I actually had to replaced the old stock stator about 9 months ago... I used an RM Stator kit.

          I am busy this week, going skiing saturday, so maybe I'll attemp a R/R swap on Sunday. Looking over the procedure, it should only take ~30 minutes.

            I finally got it fixed today!

            Everything works well and no blown fuses!

            I ended up having to install a new regulator/rectifier. The unit I chose was from a 2009 CBR1000rr, got it on ebay for $35 shipped. I wired it up tonight and took it for a test drive. It's a 5-wire r/r. The three lines from the stator are grouped together, and the ground/battery are grouped together (ground on outside, power toward middle of unit).

            It's much larger than the stock one as you can see in the picture (stock regulator on the left), and I had to re-adjust a couple things in the electrical area to make it fit. It's a tight squeeze with the side cover, but it all fits. I didn't notice a problem with overheating after a ~20 minute ride, but then again it's about 35*F outside tonight in Denver.

                That's a monster sized r/r! 5 wire ? why not, they must have figured out how to lose sense wire. Glad you got it fixed, but beware snow.
