    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • 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.

I was just browsing fleaBay for any cheap goodies that might turn up for my wife's Honda CM400T.

I searched for the words "honda cm400".

Right now, there are at least five regulator/rectifiers up for auction, none over $10.

This is the excellent quality Shindengen unit successfully used by me and many others to replace the pathetic Suzuki part.

STF for more complete instructions, but here's how the wiring goes:

Three yellow => stator wires in any order

Green => ground

Black => SWITCHED (live only when the key is on) positive +12V. Splice in to a tail light wire or somesuch.

Red => Battery positive +12V (behind a fuse, please). You can use the existing wire for this.

My bike was sorta OK with the stock part (13.5V max, visible flickering), but the new R/R rocks - a solid, steady 14.7V anywhere above idle. It also runs much cooler.
