Electronics stuff, interesting.

They have regulators as well.

Kind of the opposite end of the spectrum from converting back to car-buretters . . .

[Lucky Phil]

Their regulators are probably of more interest and they are having a discount sale.

These are like the Shindengan MOFSET ?

Not sure says replacement for Shindengan. Need Kiwiroy input here. Scroll down the page for details

They posted that yesterday in the german forum.

The first one, with the bullet connectors (including connectors for a warning light) is listed as "replacement for the Ducati regulator" and notes that the warning light can be up to 5W.

The second one, with two spade-connectors, is listed as "replacement for the Shindengen regulator" and notes that it has no connector for a warning light.

 

What that means in V11 terms I don't know for sure. I did ask in the forum, but Silent Hektik replied that they don't have specific documentation for the bike to be able to give an answer.

 

 

PS: I've got a Silent Hektik ignition and alternator with regulator from Silent Hektik in my V35, and am very satisfied with it.

New info: Paul Minnaert replied in the german forum, that the one with the bullet connectors wont fit in a V11 without changing the connectors. They are apparently "standard size" bullet connectors, and not the slightly larger, odd sized connectors that someone mentioned here recently.

 

@docc I think it was you that mentioned that issue, wasn't it?

I remember in early days with my VII Sport when the regulator failed flattening the battery,

I went to a local electronics part shop where I purchased a potted bridge rectifier connected the two yellow wires to AC terminals negative to chassis and Positive to battery.

Rode home keeping the revs low so it didn't cook the battery.

These need to be bolted to a heat sink for cooling. Beats calling for a tow.

How did you wire this into your bike's wiring harness ?

And I think from memory the seller replied that he was wrong and they were the same.

Yes. I've always had good dealings with the place, but I hear that the seller can be, shall we say, a bit over-convinced about his own opinion.

Whatever, the seller posted a picture showing the connectors on the Ducati regulator and the ones on his regulator, both with a Vernier gauge on them showing that they are both 4 mm plugs. The difference is, the ones on the Ducati regulator are a smooth cylinder, 4 mm all the way down, and the ones on the Silent Hektik regulator are shaped like most other bullet connector, i.e. 4 mm at the base end, but tapering down a bit towards the pointy end. They are, however, no doubt good quality connectors. The Silent Hektik bloke is picky about connectors.
