Regulator Rectifier or both?

I am starting on the wiring for my KZ900 B1 LTD. Trying to verify the rectifier and regulator are wired correctly, but my stuff looks different than in my shop manual. I only have one box between the dynamo and the battery. Is it both the regulator and rectifier in one box?

See Photo

Thanks in advance.

If there is only one box, then it must be a combo R/R box.

The AC is rectified into DC, then regulated down to the proper voltage for charging the battery.

The combination units are replacing the seperate regulator and rectifier.The older exposed diodes tended to short out possibly causing a fire.

Have you gone to www.electrosport.com and viewed the website?
