West Seattle GS500 Build from Scratch - WE DID IT! Meet PHENIX!

They are more precise and allow more current through.They are FET based instead of shunt based to rectify the voltage,therefore they run cooler and last longer.I have Shindengen FH012AA on all my bikes.They up'ed the voltage on the older bikes enough to add a few accessories.My GS went from 13.4v @ 3500rpm to 14.2v @3500rpm.My V star went from 13.7v @3000rpm to 14.4v @ 3000rpm.Cleaned up some ignition stumble and hesitation on the GS.

There is no real way to make a regulator without one or 3 of those.

I had an idea of using a schottky diodes - bit that in effect is 2 of these overlapped.

I think the old one is also a mosfet, the new one just has a "new and improved" mosfet. Who knows, it has a schottky diode maybe ...

Cool.

These are both easily accomplished. You put a 7815 in place of a 7814 regulator.
New semi's tend to hit their regulation voltage a little earlier. The old school 7806 would maintain 6v if it had 7.5 volts on the unregulated side. Nowadays 7.2 or less. Putting newer components over the old and higher voltage ones will get it there.
