Well ebay over here and ebay in the UK are totally different and most the only parts you can find for a VTR1000 are total junk and wont even fit most of the time. You just cant find decent stuff here, so i spend hours pointlessly searching online or, i figure i can just ask here. I dropped the bike ...

How do they fit? I checked the website but i dont know any german lol:-/

Where do i find some? Dropped the bike in a 5mph incident with some gravel a few years back and got lucky i didnt do much more than cosmetic damage. I wanna get some if there is a next time...... Where to find? Google search here in the USA doesnt show much lol.

Yes like that, but the stock one was also like that... And lasted 11000 miles. It gets very hot, so within two weeks ill probably spring for the zx6 mosfet. I think it will be easier to wire with the wires attached.

Yeah i have been running the brights, an it IS a OEM style black rubber box one. I think i will just ride and see how long it lasts. After reading up on it i am confident i can do the mosfet swap, so when this one burns out ill upgrade! At least the bike charges and isnt leaving me stranded anymore ...

Battery is recently new, new regulator came in today. Has proper charging volts at idle (14.2-5 at battery terminals) but still gets very hot after a very short time. Both combos of grounds ( straight to frame/through reg nut) and still the same. So i guess it is still shunting a large amount to the...

I got another one due here in a few days, just went for a short ride, and battery is still at 12.7v after but reg still super hot. I am hoping the reg is just sh1t and i can resume riding!

Im starting to think since i am not seeing higher than 12.8 v at battery during fast idle, and that i am getting upwards of 50v ac from the stator at 5k rpm that this ebay regulator is just sh1t. Maybe thats why its shunting so much and not providing the right charge. Ill order a new one from a repu...
