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.

You will do yourself a great mis-service if you don't get a AGM battery over a standard liquid acid battery. They are more resiliant and hardy.

Manly, beast of a battery, with a beard and tatoos.

A battery that can take a beating and still keep on being functional. They are harder to drain dead, and more resistant to failure and plate welding.

I carry a battery jump box, so if yours dies while riding with me I can start you back up unless it's completely fucked.
