Which Regulator??

[xsephirot]

So my regulator burnt out. Should have listened to booger and done it earlier 

Not sure which one to go with.

Rick's Motorsport one (I'm assuming this one is compatible with a s2r 800): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ricks-Motorsport-Hot-Shot-Regulator-Rectifier-Ducati-748-750-996-998-Monster-ST-/370636180818?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item564ba34d52&vxp=mtr#ht_3001wt_906

or one from Ca-Cycleworks: http://www.ca-cycleworks.com/esr537

Any recommendation guys?


Additionally looking to mount the regulator under the bike suck as the TPO kit. However that one also removes the breather thingy. Is there any reason why I can't just mount the new regulator under the plastic and screwing it on?

I put a Rick's in my M900 years ago...don't remember how many.

Still ticking.

Thanks ducpainter!

I have a dilemma however. How do I both keep the crankcase breather while simultaneously mount the regulator underneath the bike? This is on a s2r...

I got the Ca-Cycleworks  and it works great .. very good quality and very well done piece

Where did you mount yours ducatigirl?

At the front.  where it supposed to be .  I  would never attempt to put it elsewere  considering the reason that I change it was because it literally caugth on fire.      I stop by the side of the road and threw some dirt at it !          those thing get hot !!give it some air

it burn half of all the wiring in front of the bike ( I add to get a new wiring loom  )

thus... after changing the regulator the bike ran allot better. acceleration is smoother.

You want whichever one has the MOSFET circuitry. It has to do with how the excess energy is dissipated, stock one is not ideal. Heats up & fries, and the stock mounting location doesn't help.

i got one of these and couldnt be happier. barely gets warm and 100% trouble free notoring ever since.

Awesome thanks! I like how it comes with everything you need. Is there any reason to use the 30A fuse to the battery? I've heard it is possible to do without it (less connections = less chance of failure parts)

Additionally, did you move where you mounted your regulator?

Second the Shindengen one. That's the route I'm taking with mine.

I've also moved it forward to where the battery used to be. Not that that's likely to be any use to you, of course.

Please do elaborate? Did you go with a smaller battery such as the shorai and then mounted it next to it?

A smaller battery, yes, but not the Shorai.

Here's a photo of the general layout - a little out of date and with the standard rectifier in there rather than the Shindengen, but it gives the overall idea:



This photo shows the Shindengen rectifier mounted, but not on the bike:

That is so tidy.

That is so tidy.  

+1 Thanks for the pics Suzy!

I must say that these 2 pics look absolutely horrifying. I want to reroute alot of wires too (and the oil lines) but this wire loom looks and feels just like

flipped my rectifier and got rid of all the plastic crap under there.

I dont think you'll be able to easily mount the rectifier under the plastic tank.  I removed the tank, stuck a small filter in the end of the outgoing breather hose, zip tied it to the frame, and plugged the airbox with an old bar end plug.
