repolarize generator

I installed a new generator in my '77 sportster. What is the proper procedure for re-polarizing it?

TIA

With the generator on the bike and connected to the regulator: Make a jumper wire and connect one end to the generator "Armature" terminal (terminal marked "A" on the generator). Momentarily (for maybe one second) touch the other end to the positive terminal of the battery.
