Where do I buy a new rectifier?

You can laugh.

Go on - laugh!!
VTRs are worse for eating those Wreck-u-laterer/Rectumfriers than VFRs are.

I replaced the RR in my VTR with the jobby from an '02 GSXR600/750. Big munty heat sink fins.

If you have no luck with the wreckers try Malcolm Kirkby at Econohonda http://www.econohonda.co.nz/

whats wrong with your standard honda one :S they either go or they don't they can't go crap...(unless they are rubbish stock ones) maybe something wrong with your charging...care to explain a little more?

if you have a volt meter check how many volts maximum are coming out when you are revving it it shouldnt go over 14.8 but should be at 14.8 at reasonably low revs you shouldnt need to rev the crap out of it lol

tell us how that goes

Got a new battery today. I plug it in and press start - it goes click. Not click click click your battery's flat...just click and then i have to disconnect the battery and reconnect before it goes again....so at the moment it is not starting - so fuck it I'm going to get a shop to take a look at it.

just outta interest check your fuse isnt only just clippid in or has come lose and isnt sitting properly or worse blown mind you that wouldnt explain why you still get a click i mean it's a brand new battery try your fuse...but does horn and all that work ...or is it just when u try and start it that it goes funny?

lol.....ok well basically the rectifier is in there and I cant pull it out - should it detach fairly easily?
hmmm - yeah all the electrics work when i plug it in etc - it's just when i press start that the click goes and all shuts down....

Mark seems to be a legend - he came over and helped isolate (and by help I mean HE did it) the problem - which hopefully was just a loose connection!. So tmorrow I should know if i just had a loose connection or if something more sinister is is the cause.
CHEERS MARK

no worries tell me how it goes it should be fine now though the only problem was that plug shouldnt have stuffed the regulator looking at the wiring the plug was the cause

(plug that joined the handlebar switch with kill switch and start button was almost unplugged)

tricky one but hope all goes well mate
