Guzzi wreckers?

[dangerous]

I was after used parts... but thats turned SFA up, so new it is... between Stein Dinse and P Roper ther is a saving to be made, enough to stop the insurance company from riting the bike off and bringing it back to new.

Where are the Guzzi bits - 'cause my reg/rectifier has just gone belly up!
1993 California 3
I'm going to phone KiwiMoto tomorrow, but anyone got any other suggestions?
All help appreciated.

Are we talking voltage regulator or the diode board?
The regulator is available from any auto electrical place- then you can get a soild state one, the diode board is interchangable with BMW boxers.

We're talking 1993 not 1973!
Solid state Ducati unit - part No. appears to be 3436_9
2 input wires from alternator, two red outputs joining to one red lead to battery, and a white and a black output (warning light?)

Sorry Don, I thought it was the same as Mk5 (1991) which is basically the same as Mk1 (1976)

Na its all good now, to get around the bike being writen off Seona will not claim on the exhaust (fark all damage anyway) it was priced to be replaced.
So the bike will now go through insurance saving me a hole lot a time and Seona will get her Hubbies bike back which will become hers, making her a much happier chick.

Guzzi Reg/Rec -
- tried KiwiMoto - $335 + p&p but not in stock.
- mcdownunder - $363 ex Italy

Tried local HD / Custom bike shop (HD Cycles, Hamilton) NEW HD unit $180, second hand but barely used $80 !!!!

Guess which one I went for !

Only downside, base model Harley's don't have a generator/alternator warning light, but I can put up with that for the moment.

The poxy ducati one is not flash at all - even die hard ducati freaks have tales of them busting into flames at difficult moments.

Basically, an aftermarket (or home made) solid state rec / reg will do the job.

Any tech questions re Guzzis refer to Guzziology (about $90) and the best investment any guzzi rider can make OR ask here..
