Well, I've fitted the 'Electrex' reg/rec and tbh ... it was a doddle, I can't see if there are any clearance issues as when replacing the tail piece it largely obscures any view of the rectifier. What I was pleased about was the extra long wiring it was fitted with, this enables the deletion of the silly factory 8cm extension! Why Suzuki fitted this 'potential point of failure ' I don't know but now it's gone. It actually plugs into itself so no need to take it out completely, just tuck it away.
The only thing I had to sort was a pair of longer bolts for the rectifier as it's a bit thicker than the original.
The battery is charging as I write this so hopefully all will be ok from now on, although the Yuasa ytx12bs as about 25mm too tall for the battery box so the cover doesn't quite fit, so at some point I'll buy the original yt12a which is the factory fit jobbie.
