Did a little test: I had another old fashioned regulator laying around. So I unplugged the black and white from the new R/R combo, but let the 5 pin connector installed (using the R/R combo purely as a rectifier) and connected the old regulator.
Presto! I have charging power now. So the R/R combo must have some problem inside with the rectifier.
Bummer.
Is there any harm in riding with a R/R combo with the regulator unplugged, and using an old fashioned regulator instead?
I have no idea of the inner workings of a combined R/R.
Bryanj:
As long as the loose terminals are insulated just in case it decides to play silly it should be ok

Got the new silencer installed 8)
A silencer that actually silences! Unbelievable for <40 GBP (https://www.classicbikeshop.co.uk/short-daytona-36mm-44mm.html)
That means that this project is visually finished. Only some technical stuff to fix or improve:
- Carb jetting (main 90 now, seems rich) and need a synch.
- oil leak from the left side of the engine. Looks to be the O-ring of the oil gallery plug.
- Drive chain
- Longer jiffy (anyone know a plug-and-play option that is 1-2 inch longer?
- replace the R/R unit
SumpMagnet:
Nice.
It's not really my style of bike, but I can still appreciate what's been done. The modern front end sits well and doesn't look out of place, which they often can do.
The swoopy 400-4 pipes and a short mega suit the style too.
It's clean, simple, and looks like a flat tracker.
Job done, and done well

Thanks!
