What about the thousands of Goldwings just like yours that have never had a problem with the regulator/rectifier? :?
voltage regulator for a gl 1200
I have seen several post about installing a pore boy altenator that said to install in line a regulator so you dont get battery feed back when the engine is not running. If that is correct, what kind and where would I get what I need?

Are you sure that wasn't a generator you had?:ROFL:My 64 Chevy truck had an external regulator, what a PIA it was too! So much better with the built in regulators and electronics!
It's the job of the regulator/rectifier inside your new alternator to prevent reverse current.In my first question I used the wrong word, (regulator) I should have said, relay? when wired up it has a one wire to the battery, voltage goes both ways. when not running, 12 volts go back into the alternator which will burn up something. I think I need something that will break current flow back to the alt. when not running.
A fuse is good but many installations forgo this.
Bottom line is that you're over thinking this.
