    Hello all,

    Polaris REGULATOR-3PH,50A,SERIES,HISPD
    Part no: 4016868

    I have been looking at fitting a Shindingen SH847. While investigating alternatives, because I dropped my toast when I saw the price of the Shindengen, I came across a Polaris rectifier. It is a series rectifier, it is rated at 50a, it uses the same plugs as the SH847 and is slightly smaller. Seems ideal. The interweb doesn't reveal anyone fitting them to Triumph bikes (one ref to a Tiger 800 but no details) but they are considered an upgrade by the Kawa Versys community.

    The reason I am interested is:
    1. I have a Triumph link lead
    2. They are waaaay cheaper than the SH847 from Suzuki or Ricks.

    I would also be interested in any opinions on Moto-electrical 50a Series rectifiers that are replacements for the OEM Polaris one. They have two listed, a no name and a RMStator CNC one. They both claim Series benefits giving cooler stators.

    Anyone fitted either/any or know anyone that has?

    *** Note: this is not a Shindengen SH775. That is Polaris p/n 4012941 and is rated at 35a ***

    This is interesting. What is the price, is it less than the old 775 ?

    On polaris parts uk the SH775 which is REGULATOR-3PH,35A,SERIES 105c 4012941 is £243
    and the
    REGULATOR-3PH,50A,SERIES,HISPD 4016868 is £134. I have seen it for £125 on another UK site.

    So it appears significantly cheaper. At least from Polaris. It would be good to know who the manufacturer is.

    I bought a 775 (marked Shindengen) from a Polaris vendor a few years ago as recommended by d'ecosse of this parish. The price then was about £80. It would seem to have gone up a lot.

    It was a Polaris dealer in N.Ireland in the Antrim area. I have the receipt but I'm immobilised after a knee replacement so can't dig it out atm. Sorry

    That is bad luck. With regard to the price of the SH775, you did well to get in early as according to the interweb loads of people started buying them as replacements for their bikes shunt regulator so Polaris hiked the price.

    Heres hoping the dead battery is an easy fix.
