82 gs1100gl r/r

[Guest]

I'm looking for a Regulator / Rectifier for my '82 GS1100GL. I've heard good things about Rick's as well as old Honda's.

However, I'm confused which one to get:
* BikeCliff's site mentions my bike takes a different model than most.
* Rick's MotorSport Electrics lists the part as 10-222. But, everywhere I see that part, doesn't list my bike. The 10-212 looks more like it. But then there is the 10-202.
* ElectroSport shows part no ESR090. But, when I look up that part on other sites, once again my bike is not listed.

I'd really like to pick up a used Honda r/r off eBay for $10-20 and wire it up. But, I just don't know what to get.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Hugh

Welcome to the forum! Basscliff will be on in a moment to mega welcome you! Read the Stator papers and you'll learn all about the dreaded R/R issues. I’m currently going through the nightmare of a blown R/R. You want a 5 wire unit, 3 stator in, a power out and a ground. I use R&R's from 01-03 GSXR 600s. I prefer to use newer units with bikes that require a decent draw like the Fuel Infected GSXRs. Never had issues...

You can use others aswell.. Use the search feature!!!

Welcome Good luck

Try this one, ebay Item number# 250948603438 looks clean, wiring intact; many others out there

Hi Mr. Doldrums,

The stator for your bike is different from most of the GS line. But the regulator/rectifier is compatible with many. Did you see the list of compatible FET r/r units?

(Thanks to Mr. Matchless for the list.)

I would not recommend buying an OEM style unit from an aftermarket dealer. Get one of the above units because they are more robust. There are a couple of sellers on eBay who sell the Shindengen units new but they are not cheap ($100-$150).

Anyway, let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS lovin'.

Stick with SH-232 and SH-532, they are direct drop ins and I have never found a bad one. Instructions for creating the RR are in my sig line below.
