Relocating that darn rectifier
Written by tradewinds1964 on 2/9/2012 at 12:42 pm

Hey Yall. Saw an old 2009 post about relocating the rectifier to a cooler spot.
Goldwing Fred added thoughts about a thicker gauge wire and then the subject
slipped to post reaching smartphones. That's fine, so easily distracted. Oh
look. Squirrel.

Anyshoe, I was thinking about adding extra wire and moving my rectifier to a
nice cooler place. Not having problems, but trying preventive measures like I've
seen on other post. I have a nice big heatsink from an old computer with plenty
of fins and just begging to become a part of Scotia. The possible spots I was
thinking are:

Above the radiator.
Somewhere under the headlight.
Under the bottom of the bike in some nook.

I'm figuring adding 18 gauge wire to extend to any place on the bike that will
catch a heavy flow of air. I have read some post where riders have mounted it in
the fender to catch moving air from the tire. Pretty sure we don't have
clearance, but the creative thought is there.

Opinions? Thoughts? Disbeliefs?
