Changing out reg/rec to a combo unit

My charging system took a dump today. On my Z1 I have a separate regulator and rectifier I want to go to a combo unit and was wondering what I need to do to make it happen. I also have one fuse for the whole bike instead of one for every circuit. Any one got a homemade diagram on how to do the regulator, I mentioned the single fuse in case that makes a difference.

In review of the actual images, shouldn't be that difficult to wire in...

Jeff @ Z1 should have the wiring diagram that comes with the units.... PM, maybe he can provide but should be locse to this....

3 yellows for the dyno/stator Vac inputs...
1 green most likely ground...
1 red most likely +12Vdc out...
The unit most likely grounds on the frame as well...

I appreciate the help Rock. I will check with Jeff. I have been thinking of converting to one unit but I just have not had any problems with the old style untill now.

One fuse for the whole electrical system is NOT a good way to go...

EDIT: Just opened your schematic... Holly shit, this is the way it's supposed to be... My bad!


Not sure if you've already posted the problem here in another posting... So how about we start and maybe just fix the problem without the need for converting, or for $120, you replace both, your call...

Anyway, just in case, here's the procedures to test and confirm each of the components... Maybe you've already done so...

There's several ppl here with Electronic/Electrical back grounds that are willing to help out...
