My alternator (female) socket is in need of replacement, as is the other (male) plug that goes in it. Picture of the female version sourced online follows below. Has anyone sourced a pair recently or can guide me to a link that could help?
No brainer for little over a fiver. Might even ditch my "choc block" connector which has worked faultlessly for the last 8 years.
It's a design fault I believe, cabling and plug close to heat from horizontal cylinder. I rerouted mine, spade connectors, self amalgamating tape and heat resistant sleeving. Not pretty but works. Depends on how original you want to be?
I would look for a better quality connector with more than adequate current capacity and, importantly, weather protection. It's oxidation of the terminals that leads to increased resistance and subsequent heat. Something like these which will also fit a Shindengen regulator. https://kojaycat.co.uk/epages/95000...ectPath=/Shops/950000457/Products/KYG3WB-MALE https://kojaycat.co.uk/epages/95000...jectPath=/Shops/950000457/Products/KYG3WB-BLK
This has me thinking whether it's time to go for the Shindengen regulator mod entirely. I believe I read somewhere that Triumph's factory Shindengen set up has the same connectors as those used by Ducati on the factory wiring loom (so no need to change them with that kit).
Hi. It's necessary to verify the origin before buying a "Shindengen", counterfeits exist. I've installed them on my three Ducatis, always using the Triumph cable. I've always bought them from RoadsterCycle.com. I hope this helps. Cheers.
I always buy my mosfet R/R's used, counterfeiters don't seem to be able to replicate road grime Pretty sure I have seen some pics online on how to tell the difference.
Many Honda and Yamaha models as well as some recent Ducatis use Shindengen MOSFET regulators. They can be picked up at reasonable prices 2nd hand.
