Polaris SH775 Opinions??
MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550
NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Tags: None

I would get this one:
Polaris Ranger RZR 1000 800 570 Turbo ACE 150 Voltage Regulator 4012941 | eBay
You can see that it is an actual SH775. The one you linked does not show the SH775 stamped on the end.????
Also, get the Triumph #T2500676 connector. I buy mine from Hermys Triumph online.Last edited by 1978GS750E; 01-28-2023, 10:41 PM.Ron
When I die, just cremate me and put me in my GS tank. That way I can go through these carbs, one more time!https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/core/images/smilies/cool.png

Chuck, I agree with Ron. The one you link is not a SH775, regardless of what the add says. Probably not a series. I’d get the one that Ron linked. Though, on closer look, that ad says that it’s using “stock image”. Who knows what you’ll actually get. . Or see if Nessism has any that he’s already tested.Last edited by Rich82GS750TZ; 01-29-2023, 12:30 AM.Rich

I have the same one that Ron referenced and it is a good one. The one you saw on EBAY does not have enough pictures to tell if it is a genuine SH775.Larry

the pic on the left is a SH775, like the one on Ron’s link (though ad says its a “stock image”) other images on that add do show the white SH775 Writing on the top fin, and other users have reported getting legit units from that seller. I think Grimly was one.
the image on the right from Chuck’s link doesn’t even have the posts. No need to look further.

There are fakes all over eBay. Stay clear. You can buy two or three of them for the price of that fake that chuck found. Nice strategy that; price them high and then people think they are getting more for their money.Ed

This one is a real deal SH775 $36 shipped. It's a little corroded, though. Scrub it down before install. Maybe a quick spritz of paint.Ed

This is a bad photo, but it should give you the idea. I shaved a couple of fins, and used wires and RTV for the connection, because there isn't enough room for a large connector on the bottom when placing the unit in this location.

Chuck (and others), your biggest clue as to whether this is a good unit is to read the ad carefully. It says it is a NEW unit FOR a Polaris SH775. If it is truly a new Polaris unit, it will be several hundred dollars. And it says it's FOR a Polaris, it does not say that it is BY Polaris. By the same token, the 'gasoline' available at the corner station is FOR a Suzuki GS and is also FOR a Chevrolet Corvette. Just because it works, does not mean that it's the right thing.
Rich also pointed out the difference in the posts on the top. The writing on the last fin would be the clincher, but there are visual clues on just about every surface. The top should have 'posts' in the positions that Rich showed. I have seen a couple of fakes that had posts, but were in the wrong places. The bottom should also be silver metal, not black (metal or plastic). Again, I have seen fakes with silver metal, but they did not have the posts on top. Any ONE of them can not be taken as proof, but when you have several, your confidence can increase.If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

Here's one for $36 + tax shipped. It's got some corrosion, but that won't affect its function. A stainless steel wire wheel, or bead blasting, can be used to remove corrosion. A light coat of paint wouldn't hurt either.Ed
