Honda CB400 Rectifier (will it work on a 78 gs550?)

[Anonymous]

So, I was looking at the pages for hooking up a cx500 RR and I realized that the one I bought is off of a CB400. Here is a picture:

Will it work? The wires are the same and it is about the same size. Any help would be appreciated.

Pic didn't show

looks like the code for the pic didn't work. I will try using the pic buttons instead of coding it myself.



It is stamped with the code:
S4T-05

It also says 9.9 on the bottom.

Electrically it will, but you need to lengthen each wire.

Cut off the wires close to that white connector, solder and heatshrink about 18 inches of yellow wire to the three orange leads, crimp a oring terminal to the green one (make sure you use one that has a hole at leas 1/4 inch in size) and add about 20 inches of red wire to the last one, make sure the solder joints are good and shrink wrap carefully. If there is no black wire then you should be set.

Personally I would rather use the cx500 one because it mounts to the same holes as the suzuki and came with longer yellow wires and a ground wire with a terminal attached.

You may have to use a piece of sheet metal to mount it with.
