Where to purchase SH775 or FH020AA or mosfet R/R for Canadians!? Help
Any Canadians know where we can acquire mosfet r/r for reasonable prices? r/r is a toast and need a new one asap
ThanksTags: None

I'm sure there is a Canadian or three that can answer your question, but I'm not one of them.
Skip the FH020AA and the MOSFET R/R, go straight to the SH775.
Quick search on eBay does not show any in Canada, but it shouldn't cost that much more.
To save you some aggravation, here are some of the links:

EBay is your friend. Don't search for SH775, rather search for the Polaris or Can Am part numbers (look them up). If you search SH775 your screen will be flooded with look-a-likes that aren't series regulators. Check the pictures - if you don't see SH775A or B on the end of the unit then it's not the real thing. Follow Steve's links above and you'll get the idea.
You'd get really lucky to find one in Canada that is as cheap as one from the US. If you can find one at all. If you do find one and want the fitted connectors, check RM Stator, either on their website or EBay page.
Good luck!

Wow, this was my first post and didn't expect such nice support. Thank you guys kindly.
I was hoping for a retailer. Being new , I was afraid I might get suckered into a replica that wasn't really a series r/r. But I see now it is fairly obvious.

Originally posted by theordinaire View PostYes, unfortunately it cannot be had for these prices here in Canada, the least expensive one I can find is $50 plus $25 shipping and I'll get hit with duties (20%~) plus $15 for a kit which will end up to be $20+ w/ freight charges.

I don't think there is a DIY writeup specific to the SH775 without a connector.
These guys will have crimp spades.
You will need a tool like this.
These are some of the most critical connections on your bike, so you don't want to use the typical auto parts store smash crimper.
Personally, I would
1.) crimp the end onto the wire,
2.) slip the spade over the male on the SH775.
3.) Flow some solder into the crimp and into the spade portion to stop the connector from working out.
4.) Probably flips some shrink tubing over the wires and run down to the spades. (heat to shrink)
5.) RTV or almost any other insulating filer will work to cap off the spades (i.e JB Weld, liquid epoxy)

Just to clarify:
3) you'd flow solder also onto where the spade and SH775 male connect?
5) I'm not sure how you mean cap off, would you RTV the spade/male connections or fill the connector housing as was suggested by someone?
Thanks!Last edited by Guest; 06-13-2018, 07:00 AM.

This includes EBay, Z1 Enterprises and Partzilla. Once the value hits $100US or more then you're more likely to be charged, but I wouldn't worry about import fees on a small value purchase.1978 Gs1085 compliments of Popy Yosh, Bandit 1200 wheels and front end, VM33 Smoothbores, Yosh exhaust, braced frame, ported polished head :cool:

I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.

3a) flow solder into the F spade crimp in preventing corrosion from encroaching between the wire and the F spade crimp.
3b) flow solder between the F spade and the M spade locate in the SH775.
5) fill the open void of the connector shroud molded into the SH775 housing (where the M spades are). Filling the void is effectively capping off the spade interface.
