    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Im looking to replace my Rectifier/Regulator with an all in one R/R im not sure whether the silver tube next to the finned earthed Rectifier/Regulator is needed or whether it is the actual regulator/regulator and the finned thing is just a heat sink? :confused:
 
The regulator is the little finned thing on the side of the bike (on your model) the rectifier is under the battery box.
 
The silver tube is probably the solenoid for the starter isn't it?

There's a big list on here of compatible RR's that you can use. Matchless put it together. Honda ones are popular as are Shindengen FET (FH012 or similar).

Cliff has links somewhere on his site I believe & thee is also a thread on here http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/

The Compufire ones as broadly seen as the ultimate but they are pricey.

I'm a London boy too, moved here a few years back... :D
 
Hi,

Yes, check the electrical section of my little website for wiring diagrams and compatible r/r units.


CLICK HERE for a list of compatible stators and FET regulator/rectifiers for the GS850 and other bikes.
