Thank you very much,

this may help? as i had to buy one?

ebay £30ish if you can find one (but it might be as bad as the one you have)

patten one £70

suzuki £90

honda ones can be made to fit (they seem to last better) there is a thread on this

oh dear, I was hoping to spend £30 for one that works, lol. Thank you very much!

I've got a used one I got off eBay to replace one I destroyed in a spill, but the connector wasn't right... was supposed to be for a '99 but I suspect it is for a newer curvy. I never even hooked it up. (It's got a single connector, instead of two.)

If you're interested let me know and I'll send pics and maybe we can work something out. I'll sell it cheap, but will have to ship from Dublin.

This is a pic of both rectifiers.

The angled edge one is for the later curvy I believe. That appears to have only 1 lead going to a connector.

The thing about buying a secondhand one is, how do you know it's any better than the one you've got?

Oh dear oh dear,

now you confused me completely!!! I have a 2001 corvy, so is that the newer or older curvy (I didn't even know there IS an older and newer curvy one)???

and: Ridelikeaturtle, how much do you want 4 the reulator?

My bike is my only means of transport, so I would need it soonish...

Many thanx for your help guys

This is a pic of the Rec on my 01 curvy. Looks like the Item no 5 on the diagram. You need to get the seat plastics off to confirm which type you have.

Hi there, thank you very much for your help! I am actually watching a regulator exaclty like this on ebay, have you got any idea what would be a good price for it? (It is on 16 pounds now, 3 hours left)

The thing is I would prefer to buy one from the forum, but nobody has replied to me yet, and my bike is my only means of transport...

all the best, Nadine

Re: regulator needed, curvy 2001
 

To be honest, I don't know what a good price for one is, but my main concern would be just how good a second hand one will be, and how long it will last.

Personally I would buy a brand new one, but appreciate not everyone can afford around £100 just like that.

Can anyone else advise Nadine?
