Found this short clip on YouTube :


Now I'm really excited for the pipe to arrive, I didn't know it would sound that d
Badazz! I need to get moving on this build. If it was Valentines day I would be in the garage all day today.

Wanna explain to me how this works? I'm currently getting my a$$ kicked on this R\R issue.

I don't have it connected yet, here is a quote from the site. "Although the Mosfet is still a shunting type regulator which means (in layman terms) it takes all the extra juice that is not used by your motorcycle electronics and gets rid of it by grounding it to the frame or negative side of the battery. The great thing about the Mosfet R/R is that it has up to date technology. It uses Mosfet style transistors. The old diode types found on most motorcycles today are 60s technology. The up to date technology lets the regulator perform substantially better and run cooler. I have close to 2000 upgrade kits out there running the Mosfet regulators and had literally no issues with them. I started out with the FH012AA, then the FH015AA and now the latest and greatest FH020AA. All have performed above expectations (actually I'm amazed how bullet proof these have been). As far as I am concerned there is no other choice for a stock motorcycle upgrade conversion. The great thing about this regulator is its ability to work with a 2 wire (single phase) or 3 wire (3 phase) stator just by hooking up either 2 or 3 wires to the gray terminal. The Mosfet technology is the best thing going until someone comes up with an affordable series R/R using Mosfet technology. So if you have been wondering about whether to upgrade to a Mosfet or stay with your stock R/R, stop wondering. Whether you purchase it from me or one of my competitors it's the most reliable and best alternative I know of. If you decide to upgrade and you have an charging issue I'll help you out, it does not matter to me where you bought it. Jack"

You won't use your stock Regulator any more this one has it built in. I have replace all of my lights with LED and the old units are not designed to get rid of that much additional voltage. I also want to use a lithium battery and they are supposed to work better with an up to date R/R. Jack States in the paper work that if you fry one due to an incorrect hook up he will replace it @ cost. I think that is more than fair.

Frequently asked questions



What is a balanced charging system?

A balanced charging system is when the manufacturer designs lets say 25 amp charging system and the bike uses 20 to 22 amps of it to run the bike and charge the battery. The R/R only needs to get rid of 3 or so amps, so it is happy. Now if you take that same bike and run led taillights and marker lights and maybe some led headlights now your making the R/R get rid of lets say 10 amps, now its working hard and getting hot. Although it seems like your doing your bike a favor by thinking it's going to charge your battery better your actually slowly killing your R/R. Not to mention if you unplug your headlights for track days.

Appreciate your quick replies, think I'm gonna go order one of these now. I will be running all LED light and a lithium ion battery as well. I had heard some skepticism about using our old R\R with lithium ion batteries, so I guess it will put my mind at rest

I would suggest ordering from this guy.
www.roadstercycle.com
He shipped fast, has a great kit. I ordered the maxi fused option but on further thought would probably go with the auto resetting breaker.
Drop him a line or make a phone call if you are on the fence about it. Sounded like the right way to go to me. Someone else recommended it under a Rectifier/Regulator thread so guys are using them on our bikes with success.

You're going to like the way that pipe sounds. If you think it sounds mean in my video, then wait till you hear it above 4000 rpm when the bike is actually in gear.
