Also consider a samll fan on the heat sink and make sure its mounted to a alumium back plate with the heat transfer paste. You can get the heat transfer paste at any electrical parts store I think Radio Shack even sells it.

Also consider one with a larger heatsink all reg/rec are is 3 diodes in a triangle you can use one from a different maker with out any problems.

the prillers are notorious for melting the connectors. There is a wiring mod you can to to alleviate that, also a guy on the board makes regulators for the bike and with his you dont need to do that, but does say I should solder the connectors. It is mounted to a large aluminum plate on the side of the bike as well.
