Hope this is the final chapter on my bike issues. Both Stators replaced, they were fried. Inside one worse than the outer. After receiving the wrong Regulator Rectifiers, the correct ones arrived yesterday at 1715h. Checked the box to make sure they are the correct ones. They looked the same size as the ones on my bike, and the plugs were correct. Dropped them off to the bike shop 0800h, and the bike was ready and running by 1400h. Took the rest of the afternoon cleaning it. Has not been washed since the rally on Cape Breton, she was filthy. I have wood to put away or go for a ride tomorrow, guess which one I'm doing.
Thanks to everyone from the rally for your help, patience, and understanding. You all made a bad situation less stressful. "THANKS"

Ok, but just don’t let it happen again Pete. seriously glade you seem to have it sorted out, enjoy your test riding. Dead battery, gravel roads, miss-leading GPS’s flat tires, all part of the adventure.

There were some strange things with the GPS. Now tires is another story. All I know is I'm close to $1400 less in my pocket. But she works like a charm, charging system working great. So, where do we meet up next year, HaHaHa
