So far in my testing it has been pretty beefy. What I mean is that the RPM to voltage test is typically higher than you would see with a known good OEM reg/rec. Sitting at 2krpm the output is usually at 13 volts plus so it is actually charging at lower RPMs. I have also never seen it exceed 14.2 volts so I don't have a concern that it is actually overcharging, but more likely being efficient.

The bike has been grounded for a week while my new tires got lost by UPS then re-ordered. I am also waiting on the wiring harnesses I ordered to show what the mounting looks like. Currently it is NOT pretty, but it is working. More to follow on this as soon as my connectors come in.
