[QUOTE="83gl1200, post: 135055, member: 3756"] Can you clarify if the voltage regulator is supposed to be grounded to frame as well as via the green wire connected to its bolt? The stock voltage regulator mount on this bike seemed to be mounted with a rubber isolator or something which I can no longer find. The voltage regulator mount doesn't fit the frame, and i dont see how it could ground on the frame, that area is painted and the mount just clamps to a painted frame. I must be missing something, because my voltage regulator mount doesn't fit the frame its too loose. I can't stick a replacement ICU in until I know what caused this one to smoke, or I'll just smoke the new one. Also I see icu's with green labels and Grey labels for 1200's on eBay. Mine has a green label. Is there any difference between years, or will any 1200 ICU work? They start at around $80 so I sure don't want to smoke qnother one, I need to make sure and find the cause of this one smoking before replacing it. Also is the wiring harness supposed to have another green line grounded to frame somewhere? I see no other green grounds connected to frame but like I said one green wire in the harness is cut and connects to nothing. [/QUOTE]
