Post a pic, color code, or wire diagram for the rectifier.

Tell us what bike you have.

What are the wire colors on the rectifier?

Without some of the above information, all I can tell you is to connect the wires from the rectifier to Green, red/white and yellow wires on the bike.

Good luck!

I'm assuming you can work out the mechanical mounting.

The old rectifier plugs into the bike harness.  Do you want the new rect to plug in, or direct wire?

You will need to connect the yellow wire from the rect to the yellow wires in the Harness.  Order won't matter.
The Wht/Red wire from Rect will go to the Red/Wht in the bike harness.
The remaining wire (Kinda looks like Wht with Black in the tiny pic) goes to the Green wire in the bike harness.

You will need the connector off the old rectifier if you choose the plug in route.   Check the length required to go from the mounted position of the Rect to the bike harness connector.  You can cut, strip, and splice wires from old to new. ( I recommend soldering and shrink sleeving of the butt or in-line twist splice.
More difficult, is trying the reuse the old connector pins on the new rect wires.  Extract pins, open crimp, clean, re-crimp with or without solder, and reassemble pin back into connector.

You can also cut off the harness connector and splice wires directly onto them, going connector less, using but or in-line splice techniques.

Cheers,

Thanks man, I was wondering if I had just got the wrong one.  I've actually got an extra six slot connector.  so I can just reconnect that way, of course following your wire color hook up.  I'll let you know how it turns out thanks again!
