I do not believe this a good test to spot a fake. I have a MOSFET that I am 99.99% certain is fake, and it has both the 8 casting dots and the aluminum plate on the bottom.

what makes you so sure it's fake,

def NOT a Shindengen, but a Far East copycat.

I'd wager copyright infringement would occur by anyone using Shindengen's little circular insignia. Any copycat using it would be litigated. Fair bet it'd be safe to use one with such markings.

The cheeky feckers who sold it were even brazen enough to use a pic of a real Shindengen on the ad! I was pretty mad when it arrived, and after repeated useless convos with them I reported them to Ebay. For the price I paid it makes an interesting backup. I bought a real one since then.

Wow, unreal that a seller would pawn that off on you. While picturing a Shindengen....can you spell false advertisement?

Listen , you guys may be onto something. Here is my 2015 Versys with a Polaris 4016868 rated at 50 amp, purchased from a Polaris dealer locally. There are no paint markings, no numbers engraved NOTHING.
It is so tight I made my own harness as there isn't enough room for the triumph harness.

I looked at mounting it horizontal but the fins are at right angles. The regulator from roadstercycle is the same rating as this one but the connector is 90' from this one

This is the OEM regulator beside the 4016868, note the aluminum plate under the OEM, that is what came with the Polaris

And this is a plug and play 4012941 for any of the listed 650 Kawasaki bikes in my previous post.
