I need a new R/R for my '89 SS so scoured ducati.ms looking for your comments on which one to get. The R/R I have right now is a Kawasaki one and is putting out 12.5 volts which ain't enough. (It's always the Kawasaki parts that break!)
It seems people have had good and bad experiences with Electrex and Electrosport, but there's also some misinformation out there, not least many people transpose the brands/products: ESR510 is from Electrosport (US). RR51 is from Electrex world (UK).(see below) For that reason its hard to tell which product you guys have been talking about when you've been talking R/Rs.
I asked both companies about reliability and here's what they say.
Peter Houghton from Electrex World (in the UK) Limited says:
"We have manufactured the RR51 for about 10 years and it has an outstanding reputation for reliability.
The ESR510 is from a company called Electrosport who were our distributor in the USA until they copied our products and had them made in China –reliability ???" (Prices are GBP61.95 or USD92.92)
Trent Kirby from Electrosport (the US Company) says:
The RR51 is our old R/R designed(sic) and the ESR510 is a much more reliable R/R. (Price is USD139.00)
So, what do you say?? What have your experiences been? Which one did you actually buy and have they been reliable? Is there a 'once and for all answer' as to which is the best aftermarket regulator/rectifier for the 900SS??
