2 regulators installed? Why me

And here is the other RR that was installed- seems to match a Rick's stock number to me.
Doesnt matter I suppose- both have been removed now.

Yes I'm pretty sure you're right-that's the original regulator..Nippon Denso 32500-???? cmnsl has full # as 3250049010
Rectifier given as 3280049030 superseded by 3280044010.. a rectfier is not the same as a regulator. This bike split the two functions into two components, which is mildly interesting and old fashioned I guess. I've seen it before but I don't know another reason for it exept possibly more cooling area?

ND stuff is suspect on Suzukis as far as I'm concerned...

Cooling is the only reason i can think of as well.
 
I can't see the number on the Rick's device, but it is likely a full R/R unit. However, the number given for the Suzuki item shows up on the parts fiche as a "Regurator". Yeah, they really mean Regulator, but there is also a separate Rectifier shown. Something failed initially, A Rick's unit was installed, but not all of the failed components were removed during the repair.

Then there is always the possibility that someone said "hey, let's leave this here and confuse someone a few years from now". :-\\\

mission accomplished
 
Here's what I did with mine

Yep, only 1 bolt, but it's lock washered and lock tited

I went connections up, as I live in Oregon, and I figured less water/crud being thrown at it

I saw Salty_Monk mounted his connections down, but he lives in Socal
 
Here’s another option if there’s a tool bag plate that goes in front of the fuse block/starter solenoid plate.

Not sure about other bikes, but the stock regulators and the SH775 fit just fine under the battery box. :encouragement:

Ignore the black RTV in the lower picture. That was an FH020 regulator that was being replaced by an SH775.

As far as mounting the SH775, the tank mount on my bike is different and it will not fit.

After taking out the two RR's and the auxiliary connection, the side panel just MIGHT have enough room. I will need to measure carefully, and likely chop off that bracket next to the fuse panel.

Stator has been removed and replaced- so there is some progress with the project

Here is how I mounted my regulator/rectifier on my 79 GS1000E. I had to space it out 1/4 of a inch using a 1/4 X1" X about 3" long aluminum flat stock. I also had to relocate the starter solenoid dropping it about 3/4 of a inch. I made a small 1/16th thick steel sheet metal for that. I also had to relocate the blinker mechanism. I just zip tied it to the frame.
 
So Im still not at the point of wiring anything (hence, no 911 calls), but I do now have the stator in and apparently buttoned up, and now the RR. It only took a modest amount of demo to get it to fit...

DuhNo but look like 12V cigarette power outlets

Yes, that was my emergency 12volt power outlet if I needed it...
I guess however you can stick it in there is fine. It won't fit under the battery box. Not enough room, the swing arm will hit it. Good luck 👍
