Rectifier Regulator for Yamaha XVS 1100 Xvs1100 V-star 1100 99-03

My old stock voltage regulator went out on a ride (of course). Speedometer dropped to zero when ever I put on a turn signal, headlight getting dim etc. I looked up online and found that this was a better choice for my 2002 XVS1100 over the direct replacement one. It says it's for the 99-03, but if you look at yours compared to the pic, you'll see that this new one will need a little modification to fit.The 99-03 V-Star regulators are sort of a stretch octagon shape. To get this new one to fit, you're going to have to trim the corners with a hacksaw or cutoff wheel. These square corner regulators are supposed to be a better regulator than the "correct" one.I cut the corners, shot some spray paint on it bolted it in. The electrical plug plugged right in. I've now been riding with this one for several months, and have no problems with it at all.

Says it fit, completely different connector. Ruined my weekend.

I bought this regulator after reading the other reviews about the need to trim and adjust but it worked fine. Mine is a 2001 Yamaha VStar 1100 custom, and the factory box had the bottom two corners on a forty five degree angle instead of ninety degree. I did not want to damage my new part so I used a pair of side cutters and cut off the corners of the plastic box. The regulator mounted right up and is working great!

This said that it was a bolt on for my bike and it was almost to big to fit in the space. the bolts would not match either. it did work with the plug and solved my isues so that i could get back to riding. time will tell if it last (i hope it does ) it arived quick happy about thatthank's for amazon good IT invention.

Wasn’t a perfect fit but it is compatible and does the trick on my 2002 Yamaha XVS1100

Two weeks of diagnostics trying to figure out why my battery wouldn't hold a charge only to find out it wasnt charging at all... this was a perfect fir for my VStar 1100 Silverado, 30 min to take the old one off and put this one on. Can't beat the price since the shop was asking $120 plus labor, for just over $20 and a half hour of my time my bike was back to running like new.

My 2000 v star 1100 has never performed better since I installed this product. It puts out a steady clean voltage. At 1,000 rpm I read 14.5 volts up to 2,800 rpm. Above 2,800 rpm my volt meter reads 14.7 volts up to 4,500 rpm. I never run the engine above that. My bike has never started up this easy! I have used this product for 2.5 months and it workers better than I ever imagined it could.

3 months after install this regulator overcharged and destroyed my $150 agm battery. don't waste your money like i did. it started with 14.5 output but now it is 17 at idle so spend the extra 30 bucks and get good part
