I've fitted a LED voltmeter to the XLV750,fitted with velcro and bullet connectors so I can take it on or off.I cooked several stators with a faulty reg a few years ago,so I'm a bit paranoid these days.The annoying thing was that it still showed a charge,which threw me off a bit.The XLV750 reg is in one of the worse places possible,maybe a rewire and mount it external somewhere.

Yeah - what's up widdat? It's like Honda stylists decided that an R/R was an ugly sumbitch, so it needed to hidden, and needed to be small so it was easy to hide. Yet I've seen quite a few bikes (esp. cruisers) where it's mounted externally, and looks kinda kewl and 'technical' with the fins and all.Originally Posted by Motu
On the VFR, there's a significant amount of heat on the right side under the seat (headers exit on that side), and it's a toss-up whether the R/R is transferring heat to the frame rail it's mounted on, or vice-versa...
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

Well, that's been done too: the peltier element thing, and all that. It takes a bit of guts to get your sidecutters out and do some radical surgery on your wiring, and to be honest, after I rewired the VFR, up until I pushed the starter button, I had no idea whether the bike would blow up in a shower of sparks or what.Ha bloody ha!

Gee, laugh at my misfortune, How am I going to make those little dovecakes rise without the fanbake option. Its only 2 years old, just out of warranty.

Well I had an interesting problem with my new headlights, the light only worked when you wiggled the bulb holder. Drove me a bit crazy for a little while, swapped the bulb over (bulbs can fail like that) checked the looming, (which I had modified so was suspecting my own work) but it turned out that the bulb holder was corroded where it makes contact in the bayonet part. Problem solved.
Only other problem was one bulb goes on high when the other on low.
Easy mistake to make though as the insert had been pulled out & rotated around (not H4 fitting but one of those tail light types often used on smaller bikes).
