ok, so I just take the brown and black straight to the battery, where does the white wire go to? Thanks
For some reason I thought you had a 5-wire reg/rec, but it is actually a 6-wire.

I got the r/r from Jeff @ Z1, its 5 wire to the plug 3 yellow,a brown and a black with a white off the r/r. I have changed my fuses to the blade type and checked all my connections in the harness.
I read that to mean 3 yellow wires, a brown wire, and a black wire with a white stripe.
Since it appears you have a 6-wire reg/rec, the information is different. The white wire would be the positive output wire to the battery, the black wire is the ground, and the brown wire goes to the brown wire that went to the old '77 regulator.
I'll edit the earlier post to avoid confusion.
The brown wire is the sense line for the regulator. Make sure it has the same voltage as the battery's positive post when the ignition is on and when the bike is running. It should be within a half volt or so. If not, then the fuse connections are dirty, or the ignition switch connections are dirty, or the wiring and connectors are bad somewhere. You can fix all that, upgrading the wires a size larger, or you can do the relay-powered ignition-coil mod. That would take some of the load off the main fuse and divert it through the relay instead. The details are on Wiredgeorge's website.
