  • Amazon reg/rec

    so... i blew my reg/rec last night like an idiot... amazon has this.
    http://http://www.amazon.com/Caltric-REGULATOR-RECTIFIER-1978-1981-MOTORCYCLE/dp/B00AGJ5VNG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1439573865&sr=8-2&keywords=XS1100+REGULATOR

    has anyone tried these.. the low price ($30) scares me but i almost cant pass it up so cheap. summit racing wants almost $100.

    any opinions?

    Well ...

    IMO, the reg/rect is not an item that you should try to buy "on the cheap".

    I suggest you get one from Tony (Geezer), one of our members.

    It is a very high-quality unit, and has proven itself to be reliable.

    And, as a bonus, Tony's reg/rect will improve your charging just off idle/at low rpms.

    HERE is Tony's site:

      Hey HondaKid,

      Geezer's unit is great, and also has a lifetime warranty!

      However, the Amazon unit does say XS11, and there are 2 user feedback comments...you might try writing them, asking them about if they really had XS11's, any installation problems, etc.!
