The instructions that came with the Stator, says to always replace the Reg along with the Stator.
If they do, the parts come from 2 different assembly lines.
There is no comparison in the build quality if you lay a Harley and CE stator side by side. It's easy to see that CE is a better built product.

I'd find another indy, quick.

My 3 phase system came from CompuFire, installed in Oct 2009 at 57,000 miles.

Still runs strong 2 1/2 years down the road at 108,000 miles. I run Mobil 1 in motor and trans. Cheapest 10W-40 or 20W-50 dino in the primary.

Very pleased (obviously.).

Don't know about Accel stators but their regulators and other components like solenoids have been getting pretty cheesy . I've quit using them in peoples bikes , to much money almost a 50% failure rate within 6 months they won't warranty anymore .
