reg/rec replacement

  1. I might need a new regulator/rectifier for my bike (900SS). I know the Electrex RR51 is a popular replacement but I was wondering if anyone had tried one of these instead?

    Ducati 748 750 851 900 906 916 Regulator Rectifier | eBay

    If so, how did/does it compare with the Electrex unit?
     
  2. I have just looked at the picture and I can't tell if the wiring is based on OEM or Electrex RR51..........It gives the impression it might have a better airflow (turned 90 degrees to the other two).......but who knows?

    Personally now that I have seen how the OEM and Electrex ones wire up and what the RR51 does with my voltage monitor, I would stick with the RR51.....

    ....but where the Electrex wiring diagram suggests a new wire from the battery '+', just connect to the existing wire with the big 30A fuse. It is normally defunct when you have disconnected the OEM one...

  3. Thanks for that Al.

    I was tempted by the price, £66 as opposed to £90 for the Electrex unit.
    I`ll probably go with Electrex now if I do need a new one.
