From: Robert Borger Ken, We use silicone hose because it isn't rubber and, therefore, doesn't have to be replaced. It's permanent.

Could anybody give me some info on the latest thoughts on replacement of The Ducati voltage regulator/rectifier as we think ours may have failed. Any advice is gratefully received. Best regards Andy Cullum.

Andy - I bought the Schicke GR6 regulator http://www.schicke-electronic.de/dgr3.htm but I have not yet got to the stage of installing it in my Europa build. Despite the LAA standard mod SM12970 showing the supplier as Conair, I found they did not have any in stock ("there's no demand") and were uninterested in ordering one for me. However Herr Schicke was happy to deal direct with me in euros and communicates well in english. He doesn't do credit cards or paypal so I did an international bank transfer and that worked well although the bank fee for doing it was higher than one might have hoped! I'm sure others are actually flying with the GR6 - but maybe not for longer than the mean-time-between-failure of the Ducati unit - so perhaps no-one can say yet if it's more long-lived. BTW, before you ask, I already sold my Ducati unit! Hope this is of some use. in friendship Rowland | Rowland Carson ... that's Rowland with a 'w' ... | http://www.rowlandcarson.org.uk | Skype, Twitter: rowland_carson Facebook: Rowland Carson | pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/rowlandcarson ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 04:04:37 PM PST US Subject: Re: Europa-List: Ducati rectifier/regulators From: Paul McAllister My Ducati lasted about 1100 hours / 9 years and I replaced it with a Schicke. So far it has been working fine. They are not available in the US so if you want one you will need a find soul in Europe to send it to you.
