Recommendations for a new rectifier

Post by KellieLyyne » Thu Oct 27, 2011 8:19 pm

Does anyone have a specific rectifier that they recommend? I've seen comments about rectifiers from Radio Shack, and then I saw one being sold from Charlies ( a bit steep in my opinion ). But I was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction as I am putting my bike back together.

That's the one I put on my CA and it works great. Just bought one today for my CB.

beatrice cycle sells modern solid state rectifiers with correct color wiring attached and they are very easy to bolt up to the original mounts. I buy them 4 or 5 at a time and put them on every build. I think about $15.
