What is your opinion on the 847 and do you notice any improvement in torque as suzuki claims? How long/how many miles have you put on the 847 and what is your take on the new Panigale V4 not adopting the 847?
There is only one "aftermarket" source of the Shendengen MOSFET RR- both the FH and SH series. I use roadstercycle dot com.
You can also get these things from a Polaris dealer, a Yamaha dealer, or a Ducati dealer if you can find the correct part number.
The best possible thing to do here is to buy the 847 version, and relocate it to the right side of the engine. Ive posted pics of how I did this in the 999 forum, but I did the same thing to my 1098.
In fact, if you are indeed planning to source a brand new 020 from dealerships, many other brands of superbike use it too - including BMW S1000RR, CBR Fireblade, and I believe the Ninja ZX10R on top of the ones already listed by Jason. However I sourced mine off a crashed panigale from rubbersideup ebay for $50 shipped so that was no brainer
Thanks for the Write up @VJ020, i which i saw it last year wen i replace my first VR wen i had the lights and dash powering off on my Ducati, i had an extra used OEM VR and replace it but now its starting again, just order the SHINDENGEN FH020AA VR and the TRIUPH Harnes to replace the trash OEM VR, hope this takes care for good the issue... Thanks Again
I have a question for VJ020. I've just purchased a second hand Ducati Streetfighter 848 and the batt voltage on the dash is flashing at 11.9 Volts. I've decided to take your advice after reading this forum and are replacing the R/R with the following Mosfet R/R:
My question is this. Do I need to also purchase the Triumph Wiring Harness that you mention as my R/R is mounted up the rear end of my Streetfighter under the battery and not on the right hand side of the engine as per your photos?
Bump and big thumbs up for lots of great info! I'm just installing a SH 847 in my 1098. I had a FH 020 that I installed when the original crapped out a few years ago. The wiring at the RR was just about to fail! Crispy and brown... Mosfet helps but if you reduce the power usage (LED, no lights for track days, high tech batteries, and so on) then the power has to be converted to heat and that does damage. Hoping the SH 847 delivers!
I am going to order one of these to test, but I do already have a bias here: namely, the Shindengen stuff is going to be better quality, and is much less expensive.
The Rick's part is $165.
They are claiming that charge point is 14.2v, which would indeed be great for a lithium battery.
They do not mention what the current output is- the FH020 is a 50amp part.
The Shindengen stuff charges at 14, and Ive seen as much as 14.4 when the battery is fully charged after a long ride.
On the BMW's, this same FH020 charges at 14.5, as the stator output is much higher.

They do sell them for acid batteries as well, I hear you on the price point but it's 100% plug and play and that is worth the price of admission for me
I will post up on the install and let you know if I have any problems...
Curious on the quality remark I thought / think the Ricks looks well made...?

Well the plug-and-play aspect is great. Ive suggested using the Triumph harness when installing the Shindengen stuff, which is close enough to plug and play for me.
My experience has been that the Shindengen MOSFET regulators are of exceptional quality in every respect.
Failures of the FH020AA are almost non-existent, and there are millions of them in service.
I am not often impressed with things that are OE spec, but these things are amazing. That alone is the reason that I recommend them.
As I said, I am curious to see how well the Rick's part works, and have ordered one to test. With their non-MOSFET stuff there are plenty of failures...just as there are with Shindengen shunt type regulators.
I also know that a big contributing factor to reports of failure is user error. And, with Rick's, you have all manner of shade tree builders using their stuff and killing it through improper installation and so on.
So, I certainly hope that the Rick's part works as well as the FH020aa, but there simply isnt enough data on them to make a decision. Anecdotally, I have seen a few people have failures with these new parts (Aprilia guys) so who knows.
I do know that Rick's is a solid company to deal with, and that is perhaps most important. Hence the reason I purchased one for testing.
Would like to add an unreserved recommendation for customer service at Rick's. Rapid response to emails, and a one day turnaround on a request to manufacture an adaptor plate for my 1098 to allow mounting in the original location. I literally sent the layout one day, and it was in the mail the next. Installation was straightforward, if a little tight, and seems to have solved my charging issues.

Took you 9 months to do a Mosfet upgrade? <img src="http://www.ducati.org/forums/images/smilies/infrandom.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Stick poke" class="inlineimg" />
