my computer wont let me do a forum search, much head banging on wall

so here is a much repeated question. these combined reg/rec units, are they really easy to fit :?:

do they look quite different :?:

is it easy to tell if i already have one fitted :?:

should i just get Phil at zpower to throw one in the post :?:

get one from phil.

they simply screw under the battery box (as the old one ) and just plug in to the original plugs, well the one i got from jeff at z1enterprises did. There will be a gap behind the side panel where the other part has been removed just above the 4 large block connectors. (unless you want to leave it looking original).
modern electrics work much better than the old stuff.

thats what they look like, the original part fitted under the battery box will be silver in colour and more like a tin, (smooth shape rather than ribbed).

Mick,
They are much cheaper from electrex, but dont come with a plug fitted. It is quite easy to use the green plug from your old regulator, (solder & heat shrink) then fit bullit conectors on the other two cables (battery & earth).

pressume this is like the one from electrex. was cheaper from the usa once but not now.

Just found rec/reg on Zpower site
https://www.z-power.co.uk/merchantmanag ... ucts_id=41
This is similar to the one from Z1 enterprises, just plug & play NO faffing about soldering/crimping....Whatever.
I priced up the Z1 enterprises item last week & it came in at around Â£90 inc shipping.
I guess with club discount, & after postage the Zpower item will cost the same.
I reckon you'll go for the plug n' play option Mick....... Why make life difficult, eh?

Yup ... the one from Z1 enterprises is great
easy to fit & plug in
I've had no trouble with over or under charging since I fitted it

brilliant guys, THANKS :up

. sorry to repeat question, i saw your recent thread Bear, but couldn't watch the blue circle go round and round any longer

part ordered from zp. you're right Bear, why make life difficult. its funny, i used to do all my own work on bikes, but i lived with bikers, these days i spend all day fixing peoples houses and dont want to do any of my own stuff. work, surf, ride, travel.
