3 Phase Rec...worth a shot?
- Thread starter Ozboy

That's just the rectifier. You'y still need to buy a regulator.
I don't recall the P/N right now - but you can likely get a combined automotive solid state regulator/rectifier for that money or less. It will be compact, robust, waterproof and work perfectly.
I bought the one from MikesXS (running and hiding now....) and while it did cost around $70 CDN, it really does work fine. Many folks have gotten the same or equivalent part for less than half that much.

$12.00 three phase rectifier........ and matched to a vr794..............that's what i read..........Good deal.........don't think the extra Amps matter.......may still need to attach a heat sink???

I like the screw terminals vs the usual 1/4" spades.
My own adventures taught me to stay away from no-name cheap rectifiers. This one isn't too cheap, though. I ended up paying about 12USD for the Windy Nation rectifier on my bike. Chinese manufacture, I'm sure, but a bit more QC than the $2 jobs that go direct to online auction by the gross.

I was thinking about a heat sink or mounting to a thick aluminium plate where the original stock Reg/Rec sits might take the heat away.
This would be the wire schematic for the set up correct?
That diagram is for a TCI ignition Bike.......Is your bike a US import 80 and later, (TCI), or Aus Compliance plate points model.
Rectifier and automotive a direct swap as per diagram Points set up
The diagram with of those rectifiers are single Phase that's why there are 2 of them On yours there should be a + (red wire), and - (black wire and the other three are for the white wires

Yep TCI model as it is a 79 G Japanese model but one of the first TCI models. I was excluding the single phase rectifiers and using the above 3 phase so other than that the main wiring is ok. Looks simple enough and I purchased VR794 reg and above rec deliverd for $38 AUD total. Looks like a good little project and time to upgrade the 40 year old original reg/rec. Will update you on progress.
Cheers Skull.
