Hi Andrew,

Never saw your first post, sorry .... and don't see why the RR24 wouldn't work... indeed my 72' 750 had one when I bought it... worked fine. (yea, the wiring state was dreadful!) Anyways, the below forum seem to think an RR24 will do the job....

http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=47779.0

Regarding your shunt shenanigans.. you've been busy @ the maths (!) & without doing a bit of homework, I can't comment. It seems odd that the charge is only going positive at 6K... leading me to think that either the regulator is mis-set ... or your shunt sums are wrong?
If everything checks out otherwise, and a bridge is u/s in the rectifier, that would surely be cause for concern..

You don't mention whether the regulator has been correctly checked & set?

A current leak (bad loom) could be fairly easily be checked by disabling / isolating all the "user" circuits... ie remove all fuses not part of your charging and then check again...

Early days to declare a new loom I'd have thought, and a little unsure how the inclusion of any relays might help...  I'm learning slowly but in reality there wasn't a lot wrong with how the system was designed; its simple, cheap & effective .... & 'frigging' it will only make life unnecessarily complicated down the track. (tho' the RR24 is a nice & easy / reliable solid state fix)

I've inc my CB400 paras on it all if of any additional help... apologies for the crappy quality but I post off an iPad.

Sorry can't be of more help... gremlins never easy over the Internet... & 'thanks' (!) Trigger for the vote of misplaced confidence...

That RR24 on my '750... dreadful wiring... before & after pics...

The last 400/4 I restored I had similar probs turned out dirty connections and the regulator had been tampered with by a monkey.New reg prob solved.Cant remember for sure but with lights on pretty sure got over 13 volts at the batt.

Hi,
Well I never thought I'd get 'flamed' (or is that 'trolled') just 'cause I happen to mention 'amps' (shock, horror). As yous all know (or bloody well should at your age) there's a man called Mr Ohm. Mr Ohm he say 'No voltage, no current. No current, no voltage' or words to that effect!
So let's just say for the sake of argument you wanted to know the current (IN AMPS) drawn when you use the electric starter..........
And no 'I use the kick start' doesn't count;-).
