VR115 regulator conversion

[shop teach]

Just wondering if the wiring is the same for the VR115 (AMC, Jeep) regulator conversion, as it would be for the VR291?

Wire Color Code:
Orange and yellow wires together to Brown (+)
Black to Black (Brush Ground)
Green to Green (Brush +)

Thanks

I believe it's the same regulator from a different company. Just get the orange wire version. Here's some info.

Thanks Grinder.

What about using the AMC/jeep plug to connect it to the bike, instead of the original XS style? That way, if it does fail, you can just plug it in on the road without screwing with the wires, and return the old one complete to the store. Anybody know where to find the AMC end/connector, or if there is any reason not to do it this way?

You might have to go to a bone yard to find the other end of the connector, or make your own male/female connector with one of these sets from Mike's or many other suppliers.(see coupler sets)

Looks like I can get this regulator from my parts store but they weren't able to track down the VR291 or reference it. I also tried the MPEVR101SB without luck. Do younthink I can use this regulator on my 76 XS?

My number is WILSON 62-03-264

HOTRDD-

I believe the VR115 can be used on 79 and olders models (points). The C545HV looks like the one that is used on the 80+ models. (TCI). There is a difference in how the brushes are wired up on the stator on the points and TCI models.

K thanks, I may just need to order it online. But that shipping is the killer.

Hotrdd-

I bought mine from a ACDelco dealer about a year ago, Here is the info on the box:

AcDelco
4774 10123 LC 01 GR. 2.500
ACD# C622
GM# 88925051
QTY 1
MADE IN CHINA

still looking for the AcDelco but got this response while trying to find a place in Calgary that has the VR115

"Currently we do not have stock on the Standard part VR115 but we do have inventory on WILSON 62-05-9650 which is the equivalent. We could bring in the Standard VR115 but it would be more expensive and take approximately 3-4 weeks. If you are interested in the Wilson or having us special order the Standard, please contact our order desk"

Has anyone tried or used the Wilson or is it the wrong model as stated above?

The VR115 is $69, trying to get it out of the US is just stupid with shipping and duty...

Plenty of VR115's on Ebay. Thats where I bought mine last summer

The AMC one is available through NAPA.. I've used a couple of them

 

[hotrdd]

JR ROXX - have you used a couple because they fail or because you've done a few bikes?

 

[JR Roxx]

Because I've done a few bikes.. I've had Harleys and still have a 68 Bonny and a Victory but have always had a soft spot for the XS ( My favorite bar hopper)

 

[hotrdd]

Do you have a part number or something else for the Napa part? Is this the same as the VR115?

 

[JR Roxx]

MPE VR1010SB if I remember right thats the number I used.. same for Jeeps and AMC.. They have a connector you can wire in too

 

[hotrdd]

On the website I was able to find the UNI VR1010 but not the one you listed. I even did a search under AMC / AMX, I'll pop into the store and see if they can help.

UNI VR1010 Voltage Regulator

 

[Grinder]

I used the same regulator on mine (VR1010SB). Here is a link to the website. You're looking for the one with the orange wire. Some had a pink wire if I remember correctly.

Perfect Thanks a lot, going to head down to the NAPA store after work. Do these need to be put out in the open air or can I put them under my seat where it will get some air circulation.

 

[Grinder]

I mounted mine in the stock location under the left side cover, seems happy there.

 

[hotrdd]

How much airflow would it get there. I've never seen the stock setup.
