looks like a well designed PM 3 phase alternator. Note the size of the wires in the stator and R/R 
.
I wonder if they upped the output with some stronger magnets

Finished my FH010BA upgrade. Came off an '08 ZX-14 with 4k miles on it, feel sorry for the bike, and used insulated connectors with the factory harness off the old R/R. Works perfectly, though the test ride with the multimeter in my lap was awkward. Also, the 550ES really has no decent mounting place for a larger R/R, so it's tucked between the battery box and fender for the moment.Comment

An update. My FH-012AA arrived and I installed it as per the diagram posted. It bolted up with a bit of coaxing using the original holes and screws. At an idle, I have around 12.8 volts. At 4000 it sits at 14.20 or so. A vast improvement over the 17 volts I had before.
I want to thank all of the members who posted all the information that let me both repair my bike and save me money and aggravation in the bargain. This is a terrific site with some very 'in the know' members.
Now if I can only find a solution to the hard seat issue, I will be fat cattin it.
Once again, thanks to all and happy cruisin'.

Remove the seat cover, measure the width and length, check out knoxfoam.com's website, order suitable slab of tempurpedic foam to replace material removed from stock seat, install purchased foam. Your butt will crack a smile from being so happy.

found a "sh541-12 12v" in what was left of an intruder of unknown year or size. At the most unlikely place the auto salvage yard. Pick your part has a small area of bikes, about four bikes on average. I sometimes forget how Irish I really am. Not only was this the only reg/rec in the pile but it was on the list and functioning. Lucky me!! $14.95 out the door!!!!!Comment

Let us know how it works.

I'm now getting 13.6 at idle and topping out at 14.65. Way better than the 15-16 volts I was getting just of idle.Comment

GS 700ES R/R Replacement
This was from a post I did awhile ago, Long story short I to have had good luck with my E-bay R/R. It's not the stock one but it works well. I just got my bike running and did a quick voltage check at the battery and was getting 13.4/7 volts and just slightly a bit more when reving the motor.
Again this was a very quick check but I think I;m good to go. (Thats after I seal the tank, and replace the back tire)
I to had issues last year at the end of the season. I noticed one night (yes night) all of a sudden my Low beam blew out, I just put a new one in less than 3-4 months eariler ?? Starting checking my charging system (first checking the batt voltage at idle/2000 or so) and sure enough it was not regulating. Found this 1100 R/R on e-bay one night (LATE) and once it arrived I noticed the size difference ?? Whoops I havent tried it yet but the STATOR papers and electro sport checks will be being done this weekend.

I am unfamiliar with these and would have guessed them not to be OEM for either the GS700 or the GS1100 and fitted by a PO. The smaller one is very likely a lower current rated R/R and the larger one may be able to handle the current of the GS700.
If the larger one is about 25A rated you should not have any problems and it should be perfect.
Using a 20A rated one and lower (possibly the smaller one) starts becoming a bit of a gamble and could be the cause of early failure
.
Ride around a bit with lights off and lights on if possible and feel if it is getting excessively hot and give us some feedback.
Could you possibly give us the number printed on the one you fitted?
ThanksComment

mating connectors for FHA11AA
.png)
I installed the Fh012AA unit on my '79 850g. I purchased the electrical connectors here
http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/El...FKWH/fkwh.html
Look for "Furukawa .250 connectors, three position". Worked great and is waterproof and easily installed.Comment
