 John,
No offense intended here, but are you sure it is the regulator? I thought
my regulator was bad and it turned out to be a dead cell in the battery.
Bob:
I'm sure it's the regulator, even took the reg and gen to a local shop
to bench test. The generator is in great condition, the regulator cutout
isn't working and when it's bypassed the other coils are dead also. I
wish it was as simple as a dead cell in the battery.

 Finally, I don't know how much a regulator "normally"
costs but there is one at Sport Cycle. I just had my hands on it - I
actually tried it on my bike, again it was the battery. I think Dave Brown
wanted $50 for it.
That's the kind of info I need. I'll shop around and see what they're
going for; fifty bucks doesn't sound too bad. Thanks a lot, you're a
great guy, despite all the whining.
