fan not coming on & temp gauge not working

[simbaboy]

I recently had to replace my 7V regulator---when both the temp and fuel gauge are not working this is the culprit. These are available new at another Goldwing site for about $35.

Thanks for the help on the fan switch.... works great... I will pull the sensor , but I did not want to do it yet..have to remove radiator.. just got on the road.. thanks for your help.. yes the 7V regulator is the culprit.. I have found 2 plans to make a 7 volt regulator... both are under or around $5.. from radio shack..has anybody here tried them.. I am going to try 1 or both of them and document with photographs...for reference..

If you wouldn't mind emailing them to me then I'll post them both in the tech gallery for a permanent home.

I'll pm my email address to you to keep it from the spam bots.

Yes you can build one yourself for $5-10, spend hours researching, source parts at Radio Shack, etc
or bite the bullet and get one already made.

Just Saying..........
