[QUOTE="Motörhead, post: 226311, member: 6058"] I'm not sure about admin's policy concerning linking to outside forums so I'll have to summarize in the meantime: Last night I read a multi-page thread on GL1200 stators that reminded me windings in the stator are always putting out 100% power and the regulator shunts the excess to ground. Since there's no need for the higher output in the non-EFI GL1200 all the larger stator will do is work the voltage regulator harder so I'm leaving whatever is in there alone if the stator passes the ohm test and will install a MOSFET regulator (faster reacting less stress on the windings) and a aftermarket LED voltmeter in eye's view on the fairing dash. When I take my trip I'll carry my lithium jump starter and battery tender just in case there's an emergency on the road. Pulling the engine is something I can do but would rather put off ;) MOSFET regulator [URL unfurl="true"]http://roadstercycle.com/[/URL] MOSFET is an acronym of Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor [/QUOTE]
