And of course, you will want to look up as much info by Nessism that you can about the Shindengen (SH775?) regulator.

One place I can get all three?

I think I'm going to go with the Rick's stator you suggested, and splurge for a new OEM regulator since my original lasted 38 years without a problem, Last time I did the starter clutch I noticed small pieces broken off the rotor magnets. And recently dropped the oil pan and found one small piece. I'm hoping that's not going to have an effect on the system, and from what I've read these permanent magnets rarely fail. The pieces are coming off the top part of the magnets I guess from age, not inside from stator contact.
Total at Partzilla for stator, rotor and regulator is $1047.05

Nessism wrote: The OEM R/R is the shunt type. Any power produced by the generator (stator & rotor) that isn't consumed by the bike while running will be returned to the stator by the R/R where it's converted to HEAT. And the heat can shorten the life of your stator. The SH775 is a series type R/R. It shuts off the return current so your stator lives longer. A lot of new modern bikes are using series type R/R's these days. It's like using solid state electronic ignition vs. using points. Better living through technology.
So with the regulator and adapter harness, will these all be weatherproof connectors? And any additional re-wiring required? Thanks for your help Nessism.
Also, think I'm OK with the rotor breakdown? Hate doing things twice!

And yes, with that Triumph harness the attachment will be waterproof.
