Okay I just got out my new rectifier I ordered for my CB200 a few years ago and am looking at it, it has 3 white and a red and black which have a fuse and flat round battery type connectors, and here was me "YaaaY I can fit the loom to the chassis today" 😂
Thanks so much for these videos and for supporting the vintage Hondas! I'm also located in Houston, and I'm planning to do some prep on my 1970 CL175 Scrambler to make it road-ready for a long trip. So, I'll be sending some work and money your way soon! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
oh awesome! Shoot us a message if you get stuck on anything and need help! Maybe one of these days soon we'll be able to restart our meetups and get to see that CL175!
I really appreciate your videos and the parts you sell. I just installed this on my 1970 SL175 and am getting 13V at idle and 13.5V-14V above 2k RPM! I love it! My extension was about 18" as my rectifier was located under the front of my tank. It all works like a charm! Thanks again!
Here is my debate You pulled out blk wire (power on most honda similar to red Red being unswitched There is already a red wire on the White connector So why do u need black power Wire as wel ? Second debate Same plastic connector has green Ground and that new unit is mounted To frame ground Then why do u need adittional Ground green connected to the Bullet connector to battery box Ground My cb i only connected the Four wires and gounded bolted The device to frame And all is wel U can answer your version For the extra two connections ?
Hello, I'm replacing my rectifier on my 175 honda. I have been able to follow most of the steps. However, I have an early style rectifier and when connecting the old wires with the new rectifier, I see that the like colors don't match up when plugged in. I have "old" green going into "new" red and "old" yellow with "new" pink. Do I need to take off the plastic cap and put make sure the colors are all the same? I'm new to the motorcycle game, your video is very helpful, but this last part has me being super confused and cautious lol thank you.
Usually, the change requires more than that to jump to 12v but I'm not familiar enough with the XL250's to be sure. I'd get onto an owners forum on Facebook and see if any other XL250 owners have made the switch and how they did it.
Just picked up one of those myself. In the middle of another project at the moment, so I haven’t had a good chance to look this one over. Don’t know if I got a 6v or a 12v .
Not just yet! It's quite a different motorcycle and uses a 6v electrical system. You would need to find a specific 6v regulator/rectifier but the wiring in process should be similar. I'd check the wiring diagram too to make sure it does not have a ground coming off it like the CB175/CL175s have.
@@Common-motor Thanks for the reply. Other than the 6V system and the fact that the CD works only with a rectifier, the Cd has a lot in common with the CB or CL. I hope some day you will have a video (and parts for) on conversion from 6V to 12V.
@@mnmr7909 Ah but it also has only a single carb and some other weird quirks about it.

Exactly! We are connecting the wiring harness itself to the frame to ground the harness. If you don't there will be no connection between the battery/frame ground and the harness ground connections. This was done through the original rectifier bracket originally so when making the upgrade to a modern reg/rec combo you need to re-ground the harness elsewhere on the frame.
@@Common-motor Seems hard to believe that the whole harness gets it's ground through a perishable component and not through direct ground points but, if you say so I believe you.
Cm new the models So y not have the correct length pigtails and y not the correct mounting holes made All this takes me to believe A complete micky mouse job Who knows if it will even produce correct results after so much had to be altered Sad !

Here is my debate
You pulled out blk wire (power on most honda similar to red
Red being unswitched
There is already a red wire on the
White connector
So why do u need black power
Wire as wel ?
Second debate
Same plastic connector has green
Ground and that new unit is mounted
To frame ground
Then why do u need adittional
Ground green connected to the
Bullet connector to battery box
Ground
My cb i only connected the
Four wires and gounded bolted
The device to frame
And all is wel
U can answer your version
For the extra two connections ?
nice machine

The colors on my old harness don’t seem to line up to the same colors on my new combo unit. Should all the wires connect to the same color?
Mine doesn’t have a black wire coming out of the new rectifier
Is there a video for inserting a new AGM battery for a 75 cb200t?
Can I do something like this if i have a 6v CL100?
What is the advantage of doing this please ?
What about the CL125? I got a 1974 and won't to do upgrades like this.
Hi please help me. I want to know can I change from 6v rectifier regulator to 12v without changing startor coil on honda xl 250.

Do you know of a good reg/rec combo for a cm185 6v motorcycle
Not just yet! I'd check with spark moto or ricks
Just picked up one of those myself. In the middle of another project at the moment, so I haven’t had a good chance to look this one over. Don’t know if I got a 6v or a 12v .
Is the Honda cb200 compatible with a Honda 185 twin star?
Compare the wiring diagram
Any suggestions for a CD175?

@@thondakaika4728 Did you change the stator as well? Not sure if I understand why you mean by "platinum point".
So..... you ground the ground to ground? Not quite sure what you achieved there.

@@MatelotsousMarin It was grounded through the bracket, a piece a metal, not through an electronic component.
But why replace these parts? Mine work fine. Any evidence the new modern parts are more reliable?
The frame 🖼 is dirty needs washed 🧼 and new paint 🎨 and there’s a lot of dirt on the inside of the fenders!
Dirt for xxxxtra ground
After all dirt is ground
Full mikey mouse
Cm new the models
So y not have the correct length pigtails and y not the correct mounting holes made
All this takes me to believe
A complete micky mouse job
Who knows if it will even produce correct results after so much had to be altered
Sad !
