      Hey Steve -what about Procaliber in Washington- order two @ $65 each -orders over $99 get free shipping in standard box- Of course, who knows if they are in stock!

        Ed, I bought my connectors at Eastern Beaver when I bought my new fuse block.

        Steve,
        I also bought mine from 2Wheel on Sunday and am still waiting for it. They said it should ship in the next few days, hopefully

          A question? I've had somebody tell me that a 775 isn't a good choice since it "uses" SCRs and isn't a MOFSET type. He said a FH020AA was better... it was 'cheap insurance'.

          I'm guessing that if the 775 was a shunt type, maybe he'd have a point?

            Just ordered my SH775 from Polarisparts123...my shipping quote was a bit less than 20.00; made my total 76.00, so I just ordered from them; picked up that Triumph wiring lead online as well.

            Also ordered my Dyna green coils and wires from Z1.

                  So I started work on replacing fasteners and prepping things for replacement of the stock R/R with the SH775...except it won't fit in the OEM position.

                  Mounting hole spacing is good, but clearance at the bottom is no good due to the connections.

                  However, if I move the 775 up to the top of the GS's mounting plate, the plugs will clear, I think. BUT this will require grinding down the top heat sink fin nearly all the way. I'm thinking that is a bad idea...


                  Do you think that the R/R will get enough air flow if I mount it on the back side of the mounting plate in the battery bay?

                  No airbox, so there should be plenty of room.

                    Grinding some of the heat sink will probably not have any affect. Just try to avoid going too far beyond and into the potting material. Even if you just touch the potting material that won't be bad either, but if you persist eventually you will hit electronics.

                    You can also just put spades directly to the R/R and epoxy/RTV the shell of the R/R. You could even put some solder directly on the spades before epoxy filling. Those inputs can take quite a bit of heat. Now you have pigtails which are much easier to deal with in cramped quarters.

                      Don't fret it will get plenty of airflow-your legs create lots of turbulence! here's mine, upside down , mounted under rear gastank support. easy to check

                        What is interfering? In my case (GS850G) the power connector was slightly interfering with the Ignitor. I spaced out the Ignitor a quarter inch. Can you move around what is in the way?

                          I just used this price list to get some leverage at my local Polaris dealer, he matched the price, even knocked it off a little so that even with sales tax it would be equal to the internet price with shipping. It took about four days to get to the dealer.

                            Bob, the 12v plug housing interferes with the frame. Going to see about finagling it a bit...the R/R, not the frame. ha!

                              I created a bracket that mounts to the front engine mount. I used the upper bolt on the frame. THe bracket goes very close in front of the frame over to the other side and back to the opposite upper bolt. I used a 2"x1/8" steel. This provided a nice surface for the regulator. I drilled two holes to mount the regulator centered.

                              I created an adapter with about 24" of length using heavy grade wire so that I don't have to change any of the current plugs. This actually allows me to keep the traditional shunt r/r mounted and available as a backup. It's easy to plug/unplug from one to the other.

                              So far it seems to be working well and of course gets plenty of air. I made sure to mount the regulator so it doesn't block the air to the cylinder fins. It sits just above the oil filter so it doesn't block changing that when needed.

                                A Note for the Aussies

                                Just a quick one for any Aussies reading this thread and thinking of buying a SH775...

                                I got a price here in Aus, $156 for the Polaris branded SH775 plus $11.50 freight, making $167.50.

                                The best price I could find online from the US was Partzilla for $US67.92 plus $US39.99 shipping.

                                After the $AU conversion I was still able to buy 5L oil (Penrite HPR15 15w50 diesel $40) for the next oil change and have $5 change, so it still pays not to buy it locally unless you're in a hurry...

                                My R/R won't ship until the 26th March so it'll be a few weeks 'til I get it. At this stage I'm not in a hurry so that's fine.

                                The only thing left is to source the connectors. Getting Robert Barr to ship one of his is $US23.50 so I'll see if the Triumph part is cheaper than that to buy locally. The connector is something like $US9.42 from memory as a comparison.
