Yam R6 finned Reg/Rec - for sale

[AMCQ46]

We all know the original reg/rec with no cooling fins, fitted to early bikes, is a total liability and will take out your battery when it fails.

the solutions in preferred order are

1) A MOSFET Regulator - these run so much cooler they will never fail, but the connectors aren't interchangeable
2) a large package Diode device with lots of surface area and fins like Yamaha R6 / R1 ... runs cooler than std but the connectors aren't interchangeable.
3) A newer Honda finned reg/rec ...... not as much cooling but connectors are same
4) a Chinese copy of above ........... waste of money, it will fail sooner rather than later and kill your battery
5) do nothing and hope ...... same as above but less cost

I have been running with an R6 diode regulator [2) above] for the past 3 yrs, but just upgraded to MOSFET , so the old one is up for grabs.

£10 inc UK postage.

to get round the connector issue I just removed the female terminals from the plastic housing, put a heatshrink sleeve over each terminal to prevent short circuits if they touch [only an issue when you are fiddling with it] and then fitted each pin freehand onto the correct male terminals in the reg/rec. worked perfectly.

Re the adaptor lead- it's plug and play, and can be used by those who don't have the necessary soldering skills ( not meaning Artee) but I'd want to keep extra connections to a minimum.
It's the connections where corrosion sets in, increasing resistance, producing heat and potentially creating a fail point.
