[QUOTE="Ducdude, post: 108268, member: 2077"] Thanks Ed, Oh yea I took a Gander :-} at that was back in 1999 5 -6 RR's ago when those less then up to the task connectors charred themselves to death. I cut back the yellow wires from the stator till the wire was still made of copper and not ash and dust and soldered them directly to the RR input wires with heavy duty shrink tubing that seems to have fixed that issue. I also used a heaver gauge wire and a heaver piece of AL to mount the new RR and used thermal conductive paste under the RR to help with the thermal siphoning of the heat to the plate so the heat would have a better chance to radiate out. etc etc.. BTW the Shadow's charging system is working just great keeping my LEDs brightly lit and my Ammeter at the zero:-) Cheers, Eric [/QUOTE]
