Not sure on the exact sizes of the original rubber sleeving but this may be a starting point .. they do many other sizes.

You did well there Ian as I have not had the same luck with them. But there again one of the few places that will rechrome a used exhaust.

You definitely need to connect the red lead from the rectifier to the red probe from the meter and only have the black lead connected to the battery. Idea is to measure current in to or out of battery. 68

Mo .. you should only have the black probe going to the battery .. that red lead from the rectifier needs to connect to the other red leads

Bl**dy hell I am now genning up on Kwak KH400 electrics ! Forgive me as I have sinned
Must admit the Shop Manual looks pretty good though. https://kawatriple.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Workshop-Manual-S-KH-Series-1.pdf So here you go Mo. On Kwak voltage regulator ... Black wire to Ground and Yellow/Green wire to Yellow on your wiring. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] 71

The Honda regulator is a 3-wire unit Mo. I will have to look up that one you have

Hi Mo .. great that the needles are OK.
Iam thinking along the lines that magnets in the rotor may be slightly weak so I would connect the yellow and white wires permanently. However, dig out one of those Kawasaki voltage regulators out and I will tell you how to connect it. This will mean that if you did generate excess charge then the regulator would 'current dump' it to ground and wouldn't overcharge your battery. How does it read if you have the dipped beam on too? Worth checking 74
