Howdy-- I have a 1994 900SS CR and the regulator recently died.
I don't have pictures with me, but the old one fit perfectly on the aluminum backing plate, and appeared to have 3 factory connectors coing out of it. Two yellow wire butt splices (pin connectors), one butt splice (pin connector) that had two red wires going into it, and one black battery tender type plug (with one pin and one hole that had I dunno what color wires going into it.
This is what mine looks like (size, connectors):

The one he ordered looked more like this, but without the oval bolt holes.

So I went to my local Ducati guy and he says these things:
1. The perfectly fitting regulator that was on the bike was not stock.
2. The connectors on the bike were not stock (they looked perfect, were stamped ducati, etc. I'm pretty positive they were stock).
3. The Huge black rectifier he ordered with big square connectors (one gray or clear, and one black) that didn't fit onto the mounting bracket (bolt hole spacing was too far apart) was the right one and somehow my bike had the wrong one. I said he could order the right one but he said "it's nothing a drill won't fix"
He wants to put the big one on my bike and switch the connectors, but it seems like the wrong thing to do to me.
What gives? Does ducati still make a rectifier that links up perfectly with my bike? Something like this, but not aftermarket...?
