I am having trouble reading that drawing, for that regulator, are the 3 lower wires (the double plug ones) going to the lights in speedo G/G and the other BR/BR going to the other lights? So there is a G/BL that goes to lug on center of gauge unit? If my key is on then and my lights working, should the G/G and BR/BR be 12V if they also go to the lights? I may not have tested correct, but I am not getting any volts on any of the 3 wires that I can see. Should I? The engine is cold and not much fuel. Should I be getting some reading on the test meter for volts from those 3 wires to ground?

Between the Green wire and Black / Brown you should read 12V. Between Green and Green / Black you will read 7V. Just a simple 12V in, 7V out. Green is the common ground.

GSMacLean Thanks for the tips. I was going to build one myself, but you did all the work for me.

Next time I have it apart I will have to check that again. I went from each wire to the frame ground and never found a voltage. Maybe I have something else wrong I am not getting the 12V in? I have it back together now, just went for a midnight ride. I did tap an extra wire to the gauges for now, I have an old dash light in series with gauges so they kinda work. I should get about 6V that way. Fuel is reading 3/4 when I filled it tonight and temp normal is just barely over the cold blue area on gauge. I get a 7V regulator I can put it on that wire until I get the cluster out again. Since my Speedo is still not working that may not be so long.

Ok guys... I have to shove my 2 cents worth in because I am an Electronics Engineer.... You can get the 7 volt regulator from Mouser or Digikey... The links are: Mouser- http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/ROHM-Semiconductor/BA17807T/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMug9GoBKXZ757Osff9irS4QcmfHQjQG6lQ%3d Running in at $1.27 Digikey - http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/612669-ic-regulator-1a-7v-to22ofp-ba17807t.html Running in at $1.34 The Datasheet has the schematic in it near the end. It can be seen here: http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/92597/ROHM/BA178M00T.html Also, note that there are 2 capacitors listed too. One is a 0.33uF and one is a 0.1uF Cap. These should have a voltage rating of around 16 to 25 Volts or higher. Radio Shack should have them both. I also design and etch my own printed circuit boards if anyone is interested.... Hope this helps out for all!!! Eddie

WOW!!!! An Electronics Engineer!!!!!!!!  This guy thinks he know what he doing & talking about  Really, this is my good friend here in Knoxville & does all my elec. work because I like to let the smoke out to much. He just got a Honda VT1100 which we plan on mounting the Vetter fairing & trunk to.
