Installed Mosfet SH847 voltage regulator then upgraded to Revolt from RM Stator

[StanVM2007]

So finally got it done. Went for a 'display' set up. I think works just great. Not in a way and looks good, making my Max more fancy

The simple harness I made is in the photo with a SH775 Mosfet (genuine used form Ebay, from Polaris ATV, part #4012941). But the one installed is SH847 (from RM Stator). Both are series type, and they are 30 Amp vs. 50 Amp/500 W.
The harness is directly hooked up to the battery, and that little cube - it's an automotive DC 12 - 24 V automatic reset circuit breaker. Wires used are 12 gauge silicone insulated (rated up to 600 C).
I had to fabricate all the mounting of course. And while not really needed, as the location is nothing in comparison the the stock regulator placed behind the left passenger foot peg directly above the exhaust, I added a simple heat shield making a barrier between the regulator and the engine.

I fabricated a simple cover to hide the connectors. And added a short simple stay to have additional support point (also not really needed) connected to the engine cover bolt.

The regulator runs really cool, easy to touch, and probably most heat is that transferred for the engine not the regulator working itself. Riding, it gives steady 14.6 - 14.8 V, mostly stays at 14.7.
On idle, somewhere between 12.8 and 13. 2 -13.5 V. It will go momentarily below that and spike above as battery/bike parameters momentarily change.

The bike runs really smooth and I swear feels like has more response. Cold start is much smoother and idles steady. Overall - I highly recommend this upgrade.

Just a link to this regulator. (and I don't know why I wrote 50 W - should be 50 Amp so I corrected it; and it is rated 500 W).

Much thanks ! Very cool & complete info with thoughtful link to supplier !

Replacing this one with Revolt regulator from RM Stator. Just received the package today. New technology, no diodes, 50 A and 500 W.
I will go in the same spot as the red one.

Went with a fresh stator as well.

Had to modify the bracket just a little, move the Denali horn a bit further away as the Revolt is thicker at the edges.
Quickly hooked up to test the Voltage before taking the cover off to install the new stator. The Revolt stays cool, I can't really feel any warmth coming from it. Delivers steady 14.3 V on cold engine with +/- 0.1 when warm. After a while it drops below 14 but any throttle use and goes right up to steady 14.3.
I actually like it better than the red on. Quick test ride today.

Went for a ride. Engine got hot but the Revolt regulator stayed cool. I couldn't actually feel any heat coming from it. 14.3 V under load, 13.1 - 13.2 V idling. It went lower sometimes on idle but these are the normal numbers.

Tomorrow replacing the stator - looking forward to see what brand new stator will do to the reading and riding.
