    why is the R/R from a Honda a better application? I know when I rebuilt my 82 CB750C it was the R/R that fried my stator and I had to replace both. I don't think I follow how putting a Honda on the Suzuki is a better idea....

      The Honda R/R is simply much higher quality and a slightly different design that is far more reliable.

        The Honda is rated at 450 watts, the Suzuki around 250 -280 watts. Twice the heat sink area, better diodes, better regulator design, even has larger wire for the + output.

          Modern Suzuki regulators are an option too. I put a late model Suzuki r/r I found on eBay on my 750 and it worked great. It was much larger (more cooling area). Basically any r/r from a bike with a three wire stator will work, as I understand it.
