From what I've gathered reading about this deal, the MOSFET regulator is just that...it regulates the amount of juice the stator puts out to the system, depending on demand of the system. In the stock system, the stator is always "On", and whatever is not needed for the system is shunted to ground, which creates a lot of heat. The Mosfet reg would switch the stator output on/off as needed, and not send anything to ground just for the heck of it. Seems to me that would be an advantage across the board, as far as heat building up in the stator, the reg/rectifier, AND the wiring/connectors. Plus, as Joe mentioned, it's bound to help some with engine load at idle speeds....maybe not a lot, but it has to help some.
I also would agree with it being most beneficial with a lightened electrical load by using LEDs, and getting rid of the coffee makers, heated seats, and microwave ovens, since the more load the system has on it, the less effective an On/Off type regulator would be, since it would more likely be in "On" mode more often than "Off" mode....at least at idle, or slow speeds.
This is one mod I might actually do in the future, since imo, it is worthwhile, at least on paper. My background is automotive, and all automotive systems have on/off type regulators, but they also have alternators that put out more juice to start with. Bike electrics are a different animal to me, so I may be way off the reservation on this, but it certainly sounds like a good deal. :wave:
