Hi Geezer, thanks for jumping in. I rode from San Diego to Palm Springs on Friday with no problems. Then sometime after midnight Sunday, I headed back home. Riding thru the desert then the mountain twisties alone had me thinking the same thing as you. And for extra excitement I needed to use the two 55 watt driving lights to even see the road. The headlight is about as handy as an old flashlight. But I got in at 4AM, all good. The voltmeter was at 13.9 volts til I lit the driving lights, then it slowly fell to 11.8 volts and stayed there for hours as long as I was rolling. It did drop to 10 volts at idle during stops, but climbed back up when moving again.
I'm not done re- cleaning all possible connections, definitely need that de- oxit to make things easier.
Anyway, thanks for making available this great regulator/ rectifier.

I think once you get through with fixing the connections, most if not all of these problems will go away.
BTW, check out amazon.com for analog meters. I got a nice one there a while back for cheap...
