The photo above shows the Rectifier/Regulator on the bike, with the connector unplugged. Remove your rec/reg by unscrewing the two bolts at the sides, lifting the cover-boot up out of the way, and then unplugging the connector. See photo below.

To install your new rec-reg, just bolt it on the bike, plug in the connector by just snapping it on, and then push the cover-boot back down over the connector. Done.

Reinstall the front exhaust pipe, preferably using a new exhaust gasket.

Tip: I do not recommend torquing the exhaust header-flange nuts, as the flanges on many aftermarket exhaust systems are thinner than stock, and bend easily. Just tighten moderately. Then after your first few rides, check the nuts again.

Reinstall the right-side floorboard assembly by torquing the two button-head bolts under the floorboard assembly using 35 ft-lbs of torque.

Then just reconnect the battery, bolt the side-covers on, and snap your seat back on. That's all there is to it.

Now you’re ready to add your favorite electrical accessories, knowing you won’t come out to a dead battery—at least not because your stator couldn’t cut it. You also won't be stranded somewhere because your rec/reg got fried.

Ride on.
