HELP - Something's gone awry

[wendigo]

I checked around for a heavy duty rectifier before I even took the bike in from a few random places - $299 - and It seems rewinding an alternator aint cheap - 3-5 hundred......+ the loom, + the labour.
Screw it - atleast I am getting the bike tight now - rather than later - Just bought new fairings from just fairings too. Xmas - not a good time for these bills though.

Fark! Mine - 70 for a new regulator rectifier, 60 p/ex for the alternator, 10 for a tube of new gasket sealant, 10 for a tube of thermal paste, 5.20 for a box of Marlboro & approx 2 hours to do the job start to finnish.

Mind you, these were irish prices, so you can double them to get the kiwi dollar value.

Still, as you say, at least the job will be done properly & you'll have some comeback if it goes to custard.

I'll give you this - youre a sucker for punishment! Still you'll have plenty of dodgy electrics by the time you buy on.

Umm that should have been: "Still you'll have plenty of experience with dodgy electrics by the time you buy on."
