Gents, I have a 1977 Honda Goldwing GL1000. I need a voltage regulator for it. Not a regulator/rectifier. Any help?

Really that is high charging at all rpm. At idle a properly working motorcycle charging system from the 70's will usually be less than 12 volts. But yes, looks like it's time for a regulator.

Re: Voltage Regulator
I'm thinking that it might not be a bad voltage regulator, the "overcharging" complaint seems to come up every couple of months. Do a search On "overcharging" and I think that you'll find your answer.handyandy64 wrote:Low charging at low rpm, excess charging at high rpm
