matthend Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 OK, so my rectifier died on 2-10. I bought a yamaha one from ebay and ordered one of the custom connectors from Mike. The issue is, he sent it to the address on my paypal acct, and I have moved since. My mail is forwarded, but I have yet to see the connector. My bike is my primary transportation to and from work, the wifey has been driving about 80 miles per day taking me back and forth. I spoke to mike, and he is in VA till monday, so i can not order another one till then anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions at all to get me on the road here? Should I buy some spade connectors and make my own? I am having serious withdrawals not riding for almost a month!! Thanks for any suggestions offered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any suggestions offered When I did mine with the Yamaha Regulator I just cut the connector(s) off my old Honda regulator and soldered theim to the Yamaha pigtail. It's been fiine for 30,000 miles or so. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaygermeister Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 i dont have a yamaha pigtail... just the rectifier and my old wires.

matthend Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Thanks a lot guys... my plug/wires are kind of cooked, but I think I will try to fab something up this weekend. It is killing me not riding!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrgoudy Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Now that Jaysus mentions it, I did mine the same way he did - it's been about 6 years and I didn't remember about tearing the XX connector apart to reuse the spade's (as I didn't get the Yammy pigtail either). Good luck, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffguyF4i Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 That tiny RR is the stock honda? Holy crap? I just realized that the previous owner already did the Yamaha conversion to mine. Sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthend Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Thanks for all the help guy, I am back on the road! I ended up rplacing the spade connectors and shrinkwrapping them separately, which worked like a champ. Josh (jb4xx) even called and offered me the use of the harness from his turbo b ike! This forum rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
