Ken, you are doing a bang up job on helping Willy! One thing not mentioned in this thread however, is a small but useful mod many have done with positive results. It is the issue of running the red/black wire coming from the R/R directly to the positive side of the battery. For some of us, this cured the problem of the battery not getting maximum output from the R/R. Rather than the R/R's r/b wire running all the way up the harness to the headlight bucket and back again in a light gauge wire, it takes a much shorter route to the battery in a heavier gauge supplied during the mod.
See picture below (supplied by Dave (Roadworthy)). That red/black to red wire comes from the rectifier before the clip and goes directly to the battery's positive terminal.
