The (Type A) Field-Excited 3-Phase Reg/Rec from Rick's Motorsports Electrics is the best UNIVERSAL solution we've found for upgrading your OEM field excited charging system.
This will fit many but not all 1970's Honda 4 cylinders, Yamaha XS650's, Kawasaki KZ's and Suzuki GS's, etc. See below for more details.
Despite being engineered for optimized functionality with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, it is 100%, fully compatible with traditional lead acid chemistries (including AGM and Gel Cells).
This Reg/Rec is only for Type-A Charging systems. Not sure what that means? The short answer is to scroll down to the fitment chart and see if your bike is on the list. If it’s listed under Type-B then you need (TYPE-B) REG/REC, If you don’t see your bike at all, shoot out Tech Support team an email with your OEM wire diagram and we’ll help you out.
