OLIFANT Voltage Regulator Rectifier for Harley 2006–2008 Electra Glide & Street Glide — Direct-Fit, FCC-Certified

OLIFANT Voltage Regulator Rectifier for 2006–2008 Harley Electra Glide, Street Glide, and Road King controls alternator output to protect the battery and electrical system.

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for Harley-Davidson Touring models from 2006–2008, this OLIFANT rectifier/regulator restores stable charging performance by converting alternator AC to regulated DC. It matches multiple OEM part numbers (74505-06, 74505-06A and equivalents) and is manufactured using solid-state ST chips and robust materials for durable operation under motorcycle conditions. The unit has passed FCC certification and is intended for riders who need a reliable charging component that meets the original fit and connection layout.

How does this regulator keep my Harley's electrical system stable?

The rectifier/regulator converts the alternator's alternating current into steady direct current while limiting voltage spikes that can damage the battery and electronics. It combines rectification and voltage regulation in a single compact module to maintain charging within safe ranges under varying RPM and load conditions.

• Converts AC from the stator to DC for the battery and accessories
• Limits peak voltage to prevent overcharging and component stress
• ST semiconductor chips provide thermal and electrical stability
• Direct-fit electrical connectors reduce installation complexity
