There’s no regulator, so I need to source one… There’s space, so size isn’t an issue.
Something new? I found myself patrolling to see if a fresh wind is blowing through this category too.
Everyone’s favorite: Shindengen. I’m grateful they compile and post the detailed specs.
But… the reality is you can only choose from what’s actually being sold.
What I’m looking for:
durable,
compact,
reasonably priced.
I kept searching and patrolling repeatedly.
In the end, it always comes down to the fact that high-volume products tend to offer “safe” pricing and performance.
Yamaha in the end, I guess. 1d7-81960-01
Honda options are tempting too… but I’m not alone in carrying a lingering bad impression about their charging systems.
It’s really a tough call.
I’m pretty sure I found a really weird regulator last year or the year before, but I can’t remember where I saved that overseas article.
Well, for now I’ll probably just go with the safe choice of Yamaha… but I’m still a bit torn.
Yamaha R1 series? Pretty compact. 2CR-81960-00 FH022BA
Forza, slightly smaller than Yamaha 31600 – KSV – J01 FH008DA 5.7 201
CBF1000, slightly worn 31600-MFA-D01 FH008EC 6.0 061
Maybe worrying a lot is part of the charm of motorcycles.
