[QUOTE="TouringGodet, post: 132440, member: 27"] The battery has a heavy gauge cable that goes to a solenoid for the starter, that does not apparently contribute to the power leak. The other wire coming off the battery has a fuse, which I usually disconnect when parking the bike. The battery will hold a charge when I disconnect that fuse. There is also a keyed switch, for at least the ignition, but apparently not for everything. From many comments on the internet, many others with a battery drain problem change nothing else but the regulator, to a PODtronics, and the drain is gone. I will trace the wiring, to see if I can use the keyed switch to fully isolate the battery, but I am interested in the PODtronics if indeed my current regulator contributes to the problem. I like old school connectors similar to this 4 prong one. I have a round 2 prong one on my other Vincent’s, my father had put one on the Shadow back in the day. At least they are period correct.
