hi there. I'm a retired design engineer with wife and daughter.
have owned GL1000K1 from new in 1977.
had sidecar fitted 3 years ago.
current problem involves replacement of 7v
regulator which discontinued by Honda.

Welcome to the forums! I believe some of the guys here know of a source of a replacement.

 

[jebarker]

thank you. would be grateful for any advice.

Welcome to the forum..Isn't it a 3 prong linear voltage regulator? ..12 volts in and 7 volts out, if so they can be had from Mouser, let me do some looking.
Maybe this.

Welcome to classics. I replaced my 7v regulator with one I found on ebay. Cost me $20US to my door. Works like new. Good luck!

 

[jebarker]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.
Glad to know there is an alternative available.
Does the fact i've changed to electronic ignition have any bearing on this problem?

Below i've attached pic of my outfit.

Ignition is a completely separate circuit and should have no bearing at all on the 7v regulator. Welcome to the fun here.

nice rig ....

thanks for confirmation about ignition circuit - electrics was never my strong suit, :good:
