shindengen regulator ?

[mraf]

I am in the process of installing the shindengen voltage regulator. The question I have is if I install this in the air duct under the radio will it increase interference with the radio in any way? Being the three wires from the stator run into the regulator. I am also going to remove my tachometer and fix it, if possible. Mine has always been slow to react to changes in engine RPM. I removed it once and lubed it up thereby fixing the problem with it. But it has now gone back to slow response again. Has anyone a spare tach if so how much do you need for it.

I'm thinking you're thinking of putting the R/R in the ducting so that it gets more forced air when you're riding. However, when you're not riding, it'll be in stagnant air in a tight place. Those R/Rs do get warm and are designed to convert excess electrical energy into heat energy. If you could find a place that has ambient air flow, I think that would better.

 

If you're putting the R/R that close to the radio, I don't think it will have much of an effect...but if you're concerned about it, temporarily install it near the radio to see how it works.

No Fear. The Shindengen doesn't heat up enough to give any concerns.
