[QUOTE="Matty, post: 55075, member: 1339"] Hi The old Miller regulator is not very good and there are problems with setting it up. I could never understand why they used their system and guess it was because Lucas had a patent on the more obvious and better system. However some authorities say that the Miller dynamo is in fact a better piece of kit than the Lucas one which was standard fit on many British bikes. If this is the case then a modified Miller dynamo with an electronic regulator should provide a good and reliable system. Certainly the Miller on my Comet had been very reliable up to the time when the old electro mechanical regulator expired, and has been faultless since I modified the system to fit an electronic regulator many years ago. I am still running at 6volts for originality and have to admit the lights are certainly not as good as those on my Honda VFR750! In fact at any speed much more than 60mph I tend to run over the headlight beam with the Comet !!! Matty [/QUOTE]
