Re: Has anyone tried one of these regulators?

That said, the link you provided (and similar such items) are called “regulators”, but they’re really only rectifiers (diodes) and they’re meant for alternators, not generators. That’s why I was excited to find the MOSFET device; it’s a ‘real’ regulator for DC generators…..albeit at a much higher price.

Very true, you have to watch what you are buying – on the link I posted a couple of posts back for the Harley regulators on E-Bay, the ones for the newer Harleys are for alternators, while the mechanical ones and anything else that is for 1977 and earlier (and a couple 1978 models) is for a generator.
