bongobobny Posted August 16, 2012 Share #1 Posted August 16, 2012 OK after fnding out my supposed better than stock R/R is worse than the stock one, only putting out 13.7V instead of the 14.0 from the stock one, and discovering the aftermarket one gets dragged down worse than the stock one, I have decided to do some research. Did a msearch here but no mention of any aftermarket R/R's!! Sooo, who knows of a good heavy duty voltage regulator for a 2nd Gen?? No, I do not know what brand aftermarket one I installed, I bought it along with the high output stator from Buckeye a couple of years ago but just got around to installing it this spring. It's in the trash right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted August 16, 2012 Share #2 Posted August 16, 2012 I still have one of those group buy R|R, seems to be working just fine for me. Want it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted August 16, 2012 No, I'm looking for a plug and play unit if possible. I too have an extra one of those replacement ones that has the 2 connectors on it, bought 2 of them, one for Goldie and the other for the '85 that I gave away a month ago. I was considering it but really don't want to bucher up my wiring quite yet. Thanks for the offer Carl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster Posted August 17, 2012 Share #4 Posted August 17, 2012 Don't you mean you should be getting some R&R Ole Buddy? Hope your feeling good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted August 17, 2012 I should, unfortunately my charging system crapped out on Wednesday of the International! Just got around to fixing it, it's got to be ready for the Romulis Run on the 25th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankd Posted August 17, 2012 Share #6 Posted August 17, 2012 Bob, When you say that the 'old' regulator puts out 14.0V, do you mean that you tried it again now, or are you refering to what it did before you replaced it? Frank D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster Posted August 17, 2012 Share #8 Posted August 17, 2012 Good luck if anyone can figure it out you can, I'd offer help but I only have one hand/ arm now and it won't cooperate with anything. How many days do you have left untill retirement? You've earned it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 17, 2012 Share #9 Posted August 17, 2012 Bobo, have you tried looking into or splitting the Molex plug that goes into the R/R yet? Sometimes the wiring gets crispy in there, usually on the red wire end. Try and jiggle the wire with the bike running and have someone read the DMM and see if it changes anything. If it fluctuates then its the plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share #10 Posted August 18, 2012 Nothing wrong with the plug Jeff! I installed both R/R's and compared voltage with the choke on twice to make absolutely sure. Also experimented with driving lights on and off to see which R/R got dragged down worse. That aftermarket R/R now resides in the circular file... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
