So finally got it done. Went for a 'display' set up. I think works just great. Not in a way and looks good, making my Max more fancy 
The simple harness I made is in the photo with a SH775 Mosfet (genuine used form Ebay, from Polaris ATV, part #4012941). But the one installed is SH847 (from RM Stator). Both are series type, and they are 30 Amp vs. 50 Amp/500 W.
The harness is directly hooked up to the battery, and that little cube - it's an automotive DC 12 - 24 V automatic reset circuit breaker. Wires used are 12 gauge silicone insulated (rated up to 600 C).
I had to fabricate all the mounting of course. And while not really needed, as the location is nothing in comparison the the stock regulator placed behind the left passenger foot peg directly above the exhaust, I added a simple heat shield making a barrier between the regulator and the engine.
I fabricated a simple cover to hide the connectors. And added a short simple stay to have additional support point (also not really needed) connected to the engine cover bolt.
The regulator runs really cool, easy to touch, and probably most heat is that transferred for the engine not the regulator working itself. Riding, it gives steady 14.6 - 14.8 V, mostly stays at 14.7.
On idle, somewhere between 12.8 and 13. 2 -13.5 V. It will go momentarily below that and spike above as battery/bike parameters momentarily change.
The bike runs really smooth and I swear feels like has more response. Cold start is much smoother and idles steady. Overall - I highly recommend this upgrade.
