Which Reg/rectifier

Post by kev64 »

So ill do the Reg/Rect mod over the winter.
im looking at a used, genuine Yam R1 or R6 item.
Which R/R did you use?
As there aren't that many used R1/6 R/R on the Bay, just avoidable cheap ones
It would help if I had a choice, or has anybody got a spare one? :wink:

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Yamaha FJR1200 R/R us the same model as the R1 - Shindengen FH020AA

I replaced the 2nd failed unit on my Monster with a Shindengen FH020AA along with uprated wiring straight back to the battery through a 30A fuse. That and along with sorting out the main earth connection on the bike has made a huge difference to starting and running.

I have a 2nd R/R unit so plan to do the same with the Falco over the winter.

It will work Kev but is not a Mosfet type so still prone to the old issue of going kaput...

Wicky fitted one from a Triumph...

I've got two from BMW S1000R...(I paid less than £50 for each of mine, but I have seen them for £130 + ! )

Have a search around. Try Triumph Reg/Rec & see what comes up. Your looking for any R/R with two plugs.

BTW most of them are probably made in China anyway even the BMW ones... :lol: :lol:

I've even found you a Honda one...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CBR1000 ... em19f901a6

Now this one is cheap...but you might get hit with customs duties on top. Reasonable postage for a US one as well...

Oh & youd be buggered if it was a dudd as well...

So far so good, had it on 2 years. It may not be a most but unlike the vtr rectumfryer it's in a finned aluminium case to dissipate the heat.

Thanks for the links mac, now i get the idea, will keep looking

So temp, you had a CB125 reg/rect on for two years? and alls ok?

So ive had another read on reg/rect on this forum and the Hawk forum,,
Still not sure its worth paying extra for a used Reg/rect with mosfets as all used parts could fail
suppose they have a chance of lasting longer though

As i said ill keep looking,dont really wanna pay much more than £30 though !! :)
