Unplugged the regulator and it didn't blow.

Thanks. I'll try both of those.

No it warms up first then blows. And like I said earlier I'm working threw the wires one at a time.... ruling things out.... being methodical... yes the bike is off as I'm doing this. Jeez guys. I was told what to do from the first reply... and I've been doing that, from the beginning, I guess I...

Thank you gentleman for your continued interest. I did replace the old glass fuses. And the headlight has been off the entire time as I'm working through the wires. I know I'm generating because I unplugged the stator terminal and took a reading. I've looked over the entire wiring harnes and so...

The trip has long past. And I have been working through the connections as I have had time. I haven't thrown parts in with fingers crossed, I'm to cheep for that. The two parts I have replaced tested bad as I have worked my way threw the bike. If I'm forgetting to answer any questions my...

So... now that I'm generating electricity again I'm blowing my main fuse as soon as I start it. Could this be something I did wrong when I replaced the rectifier? Someone steer me in the right direction, I'm all out of smart ideas.

False alarm I wired the brushes wrong. But I started it up and it blew the main fuse. Fml.

Completely failed the slap test. I tested the rotor before it went in and it was good.

Ordered rotor and puller from Mikes XS. Just put them in and still getting about 12.8 when rev'ed up. I know the rotor was no good and I know the rectifier was no good. I guess I need to keep crossing things off the list. Any suggestions on what I should be looking at next?

2.5 OHM on the rotor, think I found the major problem gentlemen. I know I have a couple other bugs to stomp out, but found my major issue.

The brushes are about 1/2 to 3/4 of and inch long. How long should they be? I found a great electrical diagram what shows what each electrical connector goes to.... so now I know why I'm testing.

Luckily the previous owner didn't do anything to the bike. It only has about 17,000mi on it. I'm curently looking at a wiring diagram, and formularizing myself with it. I will definitely check the slip rings when I get back from vacation. God Bless America.

Welp charged the battery, installed it, meter had it at 12.8. Started the bike let it warm up for a second, rev'd it up and the volts went down, let off the gas and it went back to 12.5. My concern is I have a more problems after installing the rectifier, I've lost continuity in my headlight...

I have a multi meter from Harbor Fright, but have not done to much testing after the new rectifier has been installed. I really wanted to take this on vacation with me next week, not sure she will be trustworthy by then.

@DanielBlack, short answer no. I have tested the ones I have easy access to, others are completely buried. I just pulled the head light off and am about to test those. I'm a little concerned that I have a host of new issues after reinstalling a working rectifier. Do the three white wires coming...
