Sh775 fakes

[chuck hahn]

Someone had thread about how to tell the differences between a real SH775 and knockoffs. Anyone saved that thread? I searched dates back to 2018 and hadnt found it yet.

The fakes don't have "SH775" printed on the top fin. They also, typically, have black potting compound sealing the back, instead of an aluminum backplate.

From what I’ve seen in my research, the fakes don’t have the white printing on the top fin like this genuine Sh775 on my bike.

yeah. What Ed said.

My computer speakers are shot. I also see that Honda CB1100 R/Rs have the same plug set up. Think the one i saw on ebay was for a 2014???? Anyway theres options other than the SH775. I also saw the tutorial on converting honda units on bikecliffs. Click on the electrical section below the manual selections board to see the tutorial.

EDIT... Link to the honda unit with the honda part number........

That's a shunt type R/R. Use at your own risk.

[chuck hahn]

how to tell the difference between shunt and series??? Honda stuff usually good was my thought.
Whats the dangers of using at my own risk...educate me

[Nessism]

Get a SH775, it's SERIES type and helps protect your stator.

I just bought one off ebay for $25 shipped. They are out there.

Search under Can Am, Sea Doo, Polaris, Indian, Harley Davidson "regulator" and then toggle "used"

Look for SH775 printed on the top fin. If you find one that looks clean, but no photo of the top fin, message the buyer and ask.

One caution: look at the locking tabs on the plastic connector. They break off if the bike breaker is hamfisted.

If it has the metal back but NO fin lettering like one i just saw is that a fake or real? Second question. Whats the difference between the AA and the BA designation?

Look close, the SH775 lettering is there. That's a fair price. I'm not sure what's the difference between AA and BA. I've tested both on my KZ750 and couldn't see any difference in output voltage.

Thanks Ed.. im so lost when it comes to understsanding what the he@!## im looking at. Maybe we need a sticky at the top of the electrical forum with a list of known acceptable units can be used.

[phydeauxmutt]

I think the BA units were Polaris, the AA units were SeaDoo.

One other quick thing to look for is those little round 'towers' shown in Rich's picture.
They are only on the real ones.

As Ed mentioned, the quickest way to sort through is to only look for "used" and posibly add "US only" for location.
