Well, after encountering a case of the dreaded stator connector-related charging issue on a friend's bike yesterday...
https://forum.classicgoldwings.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=11707
... I took the liberty of doing an inspection of my own '78 this morning. While my stator connector is fine, I do have issues on the solenoid side. I knew that I'd need to be giving it some love soon (I inherited the configuration), last time I looked at it, there didn't appear too be any trouble. In addition to the heat buildup across rotten butt connectors, the 2-conductor connector crumbled in my hands and has pretty ugly contacts.
After unsuccessful visits to two separate auto parts houses, I came back and poured through the archives here for a suitable replacement. If there's a record of it, I missed it. Anybody find a nice alternative? (Even ebay seems a little sparse. I don't want cheap Chinese, and I don't want the new rubber-gasket type).
