rectifier regulator

This section deals with the '80 and newer A type regulator system. For '79 and earlier bikes, see comment #2. Comment #3 discusses using modern rectifiers. So, I've been getting quiet a few PM's lately about how I wired my reg/rec on the 80SG resto. I know there's a lot of info on this site...

Now that Pamco Pete is no longer in business, I need to protect my e-advancer/ignition more than ever. I don't know what I would do if it were to get fried. As I understand it, with a big capacitor and almost zero current draw, the only thing protecting it is the rectifier. I'm fearful that...

Hey folks, Been cruising the forum for sometime but this is my first post. Y'all have been a wealth of information and frankly a pleasure to read about. Thanks for that! Now, onto the bike. It's an 82 haritage special, stock apart from the bars, the jerker exhaust system, and my upgrading the...

Hi guys, Looking at regulator/rectifiers to replace my stock piece - is this going to work? I notice that its only got a pigtail of 5 wires (YYYRB) and the Mikes XS one has (YYYGORB) - so I assume it would just be wiring into my rectifier...

Ok.. I have a 1975 I am bobbing (see at http://rodemyyamaha.com) and I have a Pamco Ignition with the Mean Green coils. I would like to know what else I should replace. I have spent a lot of money on this jewel and want everything to be the best. I will be making my own wiring harness so...
