I am looking to build or find a replacement regulator for my '82 honda CB650 Nighthawk (motorcycle) My problem arises with my current regulator/rectifier on the bike. The rectifier side of the unit works great. but the regulator is a little screwy.
Since a new part is going to cost me $100 I don't have at the moment i want to just build my own regulator. Basically the regulator is going to be used on the 2 wires feeding the magneto to generate my magnetic field for charging purposes.
My current regulator is only dishing out 5V. It needs to dish out 10V
My plan was to just hard wire this into the switch on the bike so it isn't always drawing a current, when the bike was off.
My question is this. Can i just use one of these
