Can anyone supply me with a pic or two of:

a) Where the starter solenoid fits onto the frame. I know its under the seat. I have a Durite one to fit from RGM

b) The route for the main loom

Both of the above were not on the bike when I bought it. As much as I have a good idea where it all fits I'm not 100% sure. I have looked on-line but can't find anything that's really clear, unless you good folk know of some good clear pics I could look up

c) Where are you fitting the regulator. I intended to fit mine in the frame area behind the nearside side panel but there doesn't appear to be much room unless I fabricate a bracket.

I see the alternator puts out 180 Watts is this regarded as a 'high output' alternator?

Thanks in advance

I have added (I hope) some pics that I hope will help. The solenoid is in its correct position but I mounted the (solid state) regulator behind and below the battery because it was to big to fit where the original selenium rectifier was mounted. 180 Watts is relatively high for that time. I put in a 3-phase, 180W alternator because it provides more output at lower rpm than the original, single phase type. If you need more pictures, it would probably be better so send them by email.
