I am concerned about the location and cooling, so I am going to assemble a pigtail to give me room to move the RR up to where the old regulator mounts on the tank shell, but she is up and running great!!!Like a suspected, the weak voltage affected the spark, and overall performance of the bike.  She runs outstanding.  I have a few minor issues to adjust out with jets, but man it runs awesome.No need to pull a motor again, and I am back in the black!  On to the new saddle bags!!!Think I am starting to get it on these ol girls.</blockquote>
