I have a 1974 XLH1000 and the wiring is a complete mess. I am going to put a hardtail on it and want to replace all the wiring while its apart. Before I do this, I am creating a game plan and need help.

With the Thunderheart ASM4260 I am under the impression I can get rid of the voltage regulator, electrical terminal plate, and all but 1 30 amp fuse. Does this sound correct?

I hope it is and if it is, how do I hook up the generator since that hooked directly to the voltage regulator? I have read the manual on Thunderheart’s website and it does not mention any generator hook ups. Can I hook it directly to the battery?

Thanks!

This does not get rid of the voltage regulator. Wire up the gen and the reg the same as with the "newer" IronHeads ...

1. green wire from reg to F terminal on gen
2. tan wire from reg to A terminal on gen
3. a second tan wire from A terminal on gen to the gen indicator lite
4. orange wire from reg goes into a connector and comes out red; the red wire can run directly to the battery +ve, which charges the battery

On some years the red wire runs to the output side of the 30 amp circuit breaker, passes current in reverse direction thru that breaker, and along a red wire that is already there; hence charging the battery.
