[Elvisto]

looks good to me!

will it make it go faster?

could we do a bulk buy?

how much??

And what the f**** is it

 

[(RIP) Proff]

OOOOOOO
Super duper Alternator upgrade.
Ideal for previous 1200 owners to fit all the HID's they had on the 1200

Well I dont want one unless someone writes Motorrad in black marker on the plastic bag

 

[Phreaky Phil]

Now I want the Electronic ignition that bolts on to the front of it

That's a slippery slope... shush though, the missus doesn't know about that yet

Doesn't do anything apparently so you'd be wasting your time

Thats it then Proff, i have to have one too

One quite cool aspect though is you can leave the standard ignition in place. "backup" I would quite like to try one as my bike is twin plugged and it has a different switchable map in it for twin plugged engines.
If you were travelling overseas you could have one ignition timed for good fuel and one for low octane fuel !

 

[Rob Farmer]

I fancy one myself. I was just trying to save your a few $

 

[Redboots]

Its on

All fitted and working. Good, detailed worksheet from Enduralast so everything is straightforward.
I didn't like the screw together connections they supply and used spade block connectors with all wires solder on

Getting rid of all the old gubbins makes it nice and tidy in there.

I have no room in the location they suggest for the reg/rec unit so I located it under the tank in the relay bracket, having moved the relays to the front, outboard position..

While I was pfaffing with the electrics, I put some 280000mcd leds under the headlight

and fitted the "lower" mudguard that I have meaning to do for ages

I left the San Jose fork brace on and made spacers for the mudguard to clear it. Not sure if I like the look or not...

reg rec

Hope that the reg-rec gets a decent airflow there, as it needs to lose the heat build up. (bit like the old zener diode, but not quite so sensitive i think)

Bike looks good (tho I prefer the higher mudguard look.... but each to their own)

Ride safe

I was wondering the exact same thing -I have my volt reg/diode box fitted to the RH side, near to the battery, behind the panel. Gets plenty of ventilation there, and is close to the battery for the +ve lead, and have earthed it directly to the battery as well. Apparently having a good solid earth is vital for the correct functioning and longevity of the controller box.
Have had my EME version on for a couple of thousand miles now, and seems to just work! Bit pricey but well worth it in the cold weather - heated jacket, heated grips, HID headlamp, and sat nav, and no battery drain. Oh yes, and no dodgy rotor either

You got me wondering about that. Last thing I need is a fried Reg/Rec.... so.... Sent photo of mounting location to EME and received the following reply from John Rayski of EME:

Yes - this is a good location for plenty of air flow and proximity to
battery.
Many other customers have also mounted this component there as well.

Good enough for me

I also read somewhere that you "lost" the charging light... Not with this one. Has a wire to connect to the blue wire that used to go to the alternator.
I will fit the voltmeter I bought anyway

I put mine in the same place as yours although I mounted it on 2 of the rubber standoffs. This moves it down into the airflow a bit more and helps with vibration. Havent had any problems so far. Have done about 30k since fitting.
