Thinking about switching to solid state voltage regulator
1975 XLH-1000. It isn't charging. I'm having trouble with the charging system. Thinking about switching the VR to a solid state. Seeking any advise about the best place to get one.
Thanks.
Thanks.

My 1974 FX had a solid state VR when I bought it new. Harley was one of the very first bike manufacturers to use them! I suspect yours had one as well, unless it has been changed over the years. Any of the usual suppliers should have one, like J&P or your local indy.

Check out the electronic rectifying regulators from Cycle Electric. Unlike the shitty shunt type regulators Harley still uses which cause the stator to run at 100% load full time, the CE regulators switch off stator current when its not needed letting the stator run cool and without the excessive load on the motor.

BTW: Cycle Electric also makes top quality stators as well and there's an obvious quality difference when you lay one next to an HD stator.
You can find the CE units at JP Cycles.
