Follow-up: So ordered & installed sh775 r/r. Working great! Max voltage is 13.9 at speed & r/r does not seem to get overly hot. Locating it was the only tricky bit, definitely too big to fit behind footpeg like oem. But with a couple brackets, it sits nicely on the square-end of driveshaft...

Thanks for the advice guys! All the bolt connections on the passenger foot peg plate with r/r are spotless. I get a solid 12v on volt meter grounding to r/r housing & from bolts to frame. I also already have a wire running directly to battery neg from r/r. The r/r's I've used are from Amazon...
