Ordered my new Electrex Reg/Rect any tips to putting it on

I know I should clean my connections.........what is the best way to do this?

Get rid of them.

Get rid of the connectors. Solder the wires together, and use shrink wrap on them. The best connectors I could find were the marine type, and even those will give you the same problems in the future.

Roll a tiny bit of emery cloth and spin it in the female end, emery cloth the outside of the male end. Squeeze the female end together a little so that you have to force the male end in for a clean, tight fit.

Electrex installation

I agree with Chris, lose the bullet connectors, and solder the connections. Before you shrink the tubing, coat the soldered joint with dielectric grease or heatsink compound. On my '78 GS 750, I mounted the R/R on the bottom of the battery case where the old regulator was installed (my 750 came with a separate rectifier and regulator) after talking with Ritzo.

I agree with chris, even cleaning the connectors before hand, I still have replaced 2 reg/rectifiers before I got smart and soldered mine , works great and no more burnt wire or connectors GL with install.
