[QUOTE="druridge, post: 89866, member: 3754"] Do any instructions (such as a wiring diagram) come with the McDougalator alternator / regulator? I've got a Rapide which came back from Vancouver with the McDougalator but no paperwork and I'm trying to get the hang of it all. Mine has 2 pale blue wires out of the alternator. These mate with the 2 yellows to the regulator. There is a black from the regulator to earth (are these all -ve earth units?). Finally a red from the regulator which appears to be DC power to battery etc. Have I got this right? Search's have only thrown up Carl Hungness' article in MPH 674. Is there a consensus on how we all spell 'McDougalator' On a slightly different tack, the Rapide spent a good few years in Canada. Its the bike Barrie Howell rode around the world. He took the bike back to Canada and lived in Calgary before moving to Winfield BC. The bike then passed to his son-in-law Peter Conron in eg 1989. I think he lived in Surrey BC. The bike came back to the UK @ 1999. If any members have memories of the bike I'd be delighted to hear from you. [/QUOTE]
