Thank you for this video! I learned some little tricks on wiring. Staggering the cuts so there’s no bulky points and the wiring twist before soldering is great!
Cool video on this electronic unit! I remember having to replace my reg/rectifier on my turbo CBX around 29 years ago, it fried when the alternator brushes gave up the ghost(common problem with CBX's)and toasted the entire charging system. I purchased an Emgo unit($50 as opposed to $300 from Honda) and rewired the bike to accommodate GM weatherpak connectors which cured the corrosion issues with stock plastic plugs, and pulled 10 gauge wire through the harness to the ignition switch. I also eliminated the stock 30A fuse and rewired it to bypass the dreaded red plug which always melted from heat while charging, and used a 30A blade type inline fuse holder. No more voltage drop, and it still works perfectly even now, charges 14 volts like clockwork! Thanks for your well-thought tutorials/videos, they are extremely useful even though I may have decades of experience with bikes myself! Keep up the good work!
Thats a well sorted set of upgrades for the cbx or really any honda of the era. The red plugs melting are a real thing lol! Glad the videos are still helpful and informative!
I am fairly new to wiring and could really use more explanation about why you connect what wire to what other wire. For example three wires from stator to the reg-rec were connected but did it matter which one was which? That’s where I get hung up and if you could explain how you decide which wires to connect, we would learn even more from your already great videos. Thanks and keep up the great content!
No problem. I have made more foundational wiring videos in the past. My go-to is my fundamentals video. This should get you started. My tips and tricks video soon after this is very helpful as well. ruclips.net/video/R1O4dJKJZgo/видео.html
If you have a vintage motorcycle, you should definitely have a good pair of crimpers in your tool box. I bought some awhile back when I put new coils on my CB750 and I've used them way more than I thought I would. Having a stash of connectors, heat shrink and extra wire is also good.
Great video. Super informative. My solenoid will be here today, so it's time to get wiring. My only complaint is that you didn't honk the horn this time. =) Looking forward to the X21 video. Thanks again for all this great info. You should have over a million followers by now. Seriously!
Thank you for the video, detailed and helpful as always makes me want to go do some wiring on my scooter. I have a 79 Honda express2 and right now I have no spark problem. Would you consider making a video on testing a points ignition coil? I checked mine for continuity but have got no reading I ordered a new one and I hope this works otherwise it’s going to the back of the garage for a while. Catch you on the next one.
Sweet video i learned alot. I have one question thought... I got a -82 yamaha xj 550 4v8 wich im scramblifieing... Want to put an antigravity battery on it(the really small one) is this rectifier compatable whit my build?
That battery may struggle to turn the bike over and start if the tune isn't dialed. Our reg/rec is safe for the Anti gravity. Also check out our batteries if you haven't seen them.
Assuming 3 yellow ac wires no it does not matter the orientation. Some manufacturers use various colors so the diagram just leaves room for that option should it need to be a concern
so if you have a lithium ion battery you need a li on battery charger, but what about the rectifier ? do you have to fit a specific rectifire....like a li on friendly thing, does using the original factory rec not bugger up the li on battery?
Thats not a super straightforward answer on this one. Some lithium ion batteries have a more specific charge set point requiring both a specific charger as well as reg/rec. For example an anti gravity which is 14.2v max before it runs the risk of melting down. Our lithium battery has a battery management system built in to allow the use of any reg/rec in comparison. It is always best to confirm your max charge output for the stock system and compare that to what the specific desired battery requires.
@@BrickHouseBuilds Can't find any info on the website about the fuse. How it is connected and even if it is included. Can you point me to the right page please ?

Glad to hear it! Also, check yo email sir!
Always enjoy your wiring videos BJ, another good one!
Thank ya sir! Full X21 installation video dropping today!

Great instructional video, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I appreciate it Pete!
Glad you found a home for those grips!
For real! Perfect on this!
I appreciate your videos. You've inspired me to get a bike again and try to customize. I've started with a seat loop 1st
Well thank you and thats awesome to hear! Happy to provide that inspiration
Another great wiring video BJ. And I do not think you can have enough electrical wiring videos (information). Looking forward to the X21 video.
Thanks Carl, I know I'll have more roll out when I start to offer electrical tools! Have to show how to use them!
Really enjoyed your video, very clear and easy to understand. Crackin job. Thanks.
Mission accomplished! Thanks Richie
Always love wiring videos!
Happy to provide them!
Very nice BJ - this will come in extremely handy on future builds!
I appreciate it Mike!

100% agree. Having the ability to replicate/repair factory crimps is a must

I appreciate that 🙏 The horn was definitely tested on the x21 video lol
nice job 👍👍👍 师傅
Thank ya!
Wow, that's awesome. Informative 💯👍💯

Hey Miguel! I actually have a video showing just that with this cb750 diag video. ruclips.net/video/R6qqrQRkJyI/видео.html
So, y'all do house visits to help us noobs build out Hondas? Toronto is nice this time of year... :-)
Lol that would be something wouldn't it!

So what's the difference between the drrs and drrf and what would you use on a 1980 cx500 build?
Hey Brett, I made the linked video specifically for your question. On the cx you need the DRR-S

@@BrickHouseBuilds thanks so much!
With the coil wires all being the same color, does it matter what order they are connected? If so, how can you tell which is which?
Assuming 3 yellow ac wires no it does not matter the orientation. Some manufacturers use various colors so the diagram just leaves room for that option should it need to be a concern
@@BrickHouseBuilds Cool. Thanks, BJ.

@@BrickHouseBuilds thanks for your input bud, i know my lith battery has a built in management system and it is specific to my harley
@@sugarskullleatherworks6417 good to hear. Our two reg/recs are compatible with everything though so no risk on this front.
Lifepo4 like the same charge as SLA
👍👍👍
🙏🙏
Where did you get the ground terminal from. Can’t find a foot print like yours
It is included with the kit
@@BrickHouseBuilds Can't find any info on the website about the fuse. How it is connected and even if it is included. Can you point me to the right page please ?
What bike is this regulator for?
Pretty much any bike that doesn't have a field coil activated stator
