Black Bomber not charging
AshimotoK0:
Looking at your figures again and comparing them to the 5-speed Honda graphs Roy, I think you now have a really nice charging system with the added bonus of the solid state regulator to stop you 'boiling the battery' or blowing bubs if the battery isn't perfect.

That's good to hear, I was thinking it looked a bit low compared to the graph. I'm not sure the output is so great to ever activate the regulator but knowing it's there gives peace of mind.
I shall now get it run in and see how the charging goes. The good thing is I have learned a whole lot about electrics whilst doing this. Thanks guys for all the advice along the way.
AshimotoK0:
One feature of that regulator is that if you have a poor battery connection or a failing battery, it prevents the high voltage from the alternator popping every bulb on the bike. It's a very neat little circuit for 1968 when it 1st appeared, in terms of solid-state electronics (it uses a power thyristor to clamp the excess voltage).

I found this from a CB77/450 Service Bulletin attached Roy .. From 1968
