I got mine from Brooks Barn through EBay , it's worked fine for approx 1800 miles and was £40 if I remember correctly.

Electrex World for me too on my CB350F.

All the plugs match up perfectly with the Honda harness.

The mounting points may not match up though. Mine certainly didn't.

Sorry I know I probably sound a git daft here but by changing to a solid state rectifier dose that mean you can get rid of the old rectifier and regulator?

Is it one of those things you should do anyway or leave till the old stuff stops working?

If it int broke, don't fix it. My 40 year old one is still regulating away like it's supposed to.
