    I've also got both a Compufire and SH775 and overall the Compufire seems to take up more space because it's taller. I ground down the heatsink a little in order to fit it into my desired spot on the bike.

      Found some pics of my CF install. Here it is under the battery box, no go on my 83 750ES, it's touching the swingarm:





      So here's where it went under the triple tree, right above the oil cooler in the air flow, not that it needs much - being series it runs very cool:



      I wired directly into the wiring harness unlike the instructions say, but I did wire directly to the stators output:




      And here's the part number for the Triumph wire harness - T2500676:

        thanks for your input guys!
        I'll go with the SH775 and the Triumph kit to go with it
        That's all I will need?

          You may need a Stator as well, and this is a great time to clean the connectors and add grounds.

            Agreed. Get some deoxit and dielectric grease, clean and coat all electrical connections thoroughly. Especially the ones that supply and return power. I press the nozzle of the dielectric grease to the face of the female connectors - whether bullet or multi terminal spade type, and squeeze the tube, filling the connector, which keeps air and moisture and ultimately corrosion, out.

            Also, search out posplayr's SPG (single point ground) posts as well.

              I do things right, I knew it would eventually go so I'll do it all the same time. Got a Electrosport stator, heard they're alot better then the regulators

                You heard correctly. Their R/R's are not good at all. I have one of their Stators on my bike and it's been fine for years.

                  14 gauge inline fuse should be good?
                  I just got ahold of a 775 a few months ago but didnt even get to doing this swap out yet.

                  and for a stator, would a 21-302 from Ricks slap in?

                    soo after spending quite a few hrs, not all in one day but actually a few months doing some research on exactly how to wire the Polaris R/R up, I got it figured out.
                    But not totally sure I got it 100% right. I used the Triumph wiring harness, the bigger wires from the Pos and the Neg go into 2 smaller wires further down onto the smaller connectors. Now, I only use 1 of the positive wires, instead of 2, would that be an issue?

                    I got 13.6-13.8 at idle, and doesnt really get much higher than 14.3-14.4 around 5k

                      that sounds good... hopefully you opted for the single point grounding scheme to ensure the r/r sees the battery nicely.

                        I was just hoping to see a little more, but if thats ok, I guess thats ok to me.
                        Earlier I took it out to get some fresh gas, I left the side covers off to stop and check to make sure everything is ok. As I was riding, country backroad, I smelled something burning, I never shut off something so fast before, hopped off started feeling everything and smelling around, everything seemed ok, I turned around and seen the residence a few houses back was having a little fire, phew!

                        I put the R/R ground to the Neg side of the mounting bolt.
                        I don't believe I did anything to the headlight loop though, so that could be a big help to. Would I have to lift the tank to get to it?

                          Get rid of headlight loop- wire all 3 wires from the stator directly to the SH-775. And read or reread this link regarding grounds. Do it right !
