sh-775 bought

[terrylee]

Thanks for the advise. Turns out one of the batteries was an interstate AGM, a little over a year old. It was dry when I took sealed rubber top off and took a look (like I said not suppose to, but wanted to see inside). I'll just keep the r/r under battery box if I can get sh-775 to fit with some modifications.

VERY little necessary in the way of "modifications", Terry.

I just mounted one on my 850, along with replacing the fuse box.

Can't see much from this angle, but the 775 is mounted below the battery box, along with the Triumph connectors.


Here is a shot from what would be the back of the bike, so you can the extent of the "modifications".


Yep, that's it, just tilt the R/R down a bit. Just bolt it in place, then twist hard to get it that way.

It gets a bit cozy when the fuse box is installed, but even more crowded when wires are installed, too.
Saving the 'wired' picture for later, but here is how it fits with the fuse box installed:

Mounted one on my 850 and my 1000. In both cases it was mounted under the battery box. The only modifications needed was to every so slight elongate the holes inward on the R/R. Other then that it bolted straight up. Removing the battery box does make it go easier. If you unscrew everything that's bolted to it, the box just lifts out leaving everything hanging. Only takes a few minutes and gives you a good chance at sprucing it up a bit.

Thanks guys and thanks for the pictures Steve, looks good, which all my electrical stuff looked that neat, something to work on. Already have battery box out waiting for r/r, got new coat of paint while waiting. Ordered a new AGM battery so hopefully this weekend I can be riding again!

I wish mine looked that neat, too. Here is the first mock-up of wiring for the additional fuse locations:



I finished up wiring the fuse box area last night. It was late, I did not get any pictures, but will do so before going much further.
It is now a considerably "busier" location now.

Now I am working on the stuff 'downstream' of the fusebox. You know, all the "farkles".

You know what farkles are?

Still looks better than any of mine, may have to do a little polishing on some more parts too! Got my ebay bought r/r today and battery, man that was fast! Only had to enlarge mounts holes on it and fit great under battery box. Didn't want to wait on having to order plugs so used spade connectors and sealed with silicone. Letting it dry over night and will get installed tomorrow. Hope this solves all my electrical problems!

Got everything installed today and seems to be charging fine now! Even meter on bike is showing 14 volts above 2000rpms,haven't had a chance to take out for a long ride yet, will do this weekend.
