Hi Kent, I created another thread yesterday cos I wanted to try and get some answers quickly. So my results after doing the mod
are here if you haven't already realised.
Regarding your comments though, yes if would be nice to have some specs on what the output of our alternator was. If the mechanic who replaced my regulator/rectifier can be believed, he said the volts being put into my battery ranged from 24 to 0, hence the need for a newie.
So if that's the case, it gets down to the wiring and the amount of resistance which is stuffing us up mostly. That's how it looks to me anyway but I'm such an amateur still, I'm merely working off what's I've read here etc.
As far as cold goes, did you know that I'm tapping away at these puter keys only a few k's away from you in Ningi. Yep. Small world matie.
As a matter of fact, last time I was up I had a beer with Benny or Islandbum (another Bribie Bloke) and Richard or Foglefar. Great blokes and I was planning on trying to see them this time to but I've been camping in the hinterland from the Sunshine Coast and haven't got round to it unfortunately.
You guys listening???
We've also got Boof from the Sunshine Coast and FrankW from Brisbane around these parts who are also members here so you're in good company mate.
As far as the cold goes. I'm from Canberra so it only gets warmer the more north I ride buddy. I wouldn't mind a plug in heat vest though. I'm too scared to even think about it at the moment cos how much would it drain hey?
Anyway, nice talking to you and apologies from me to everyone else for hijacking
this thread for a few lines.
