Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

In addition to my previous post I changed to a blade type fuse box and relocated the R/R to a front frame tube under the steering head where it stays cooler. So far works great.

Looks good to me except I dont like that crappy wire and those CS (chicken sh!t) plastic terminals. Airplane wire and terminals have me spoiled.
Charlie,
Right on #1; in this context they are all the same. Impedance is a generalizaton of resistance (which is DC) which encompases AC resistance (which includes reactance). Ohms is a measure of both.
On #2 there are typically two types of regulators Shunt and Series.
A Series regulator carries all the supply current. The OEM R/R does as well but, I'm mainly referring to the regulating device in the second stage of the R/R. That device is shunt because it operates by diverting current from the load back to the source without ever carrying all of the load current.
I'm realizing this probably doesn't explain anything and so I'm really wondering what the significance of the Shunt v.s. Series distinction is in this context?
Wow I'm pressed to make a distinction.I think that the derogatory insinuation is that shunt is not as good as something else. I'm not sure that series would be any better. The issue is really being able to control the battery voltage by direct measurement of the load v.s. relying on the terminal voltage of the regulator.
Series regulators normaly control by monitoring the output voltage which is after the voltage drops of the series regulator. Shunt suggests operating off the terminal only (as the OEM does).
I'll check with my experts tomorrow to see if there is anything I missed or have wrong.
