This is fine - if you buy one that works.

More than once an owner has brought me a bike that doesn't charge and which has had the regulator replaced with a second hand one - which doesn't work either.
Now this may just be a coincidence, but the regulators in such cases have been those usually fitted to Hondas.
The unfortunate assumption that Honda regulators are angels breath and must be an improvement his proven incorrect. Or peharps it means Honda owners are unscurpulous thieves?

Anyway, whilst I have often fitted S/H parts to peoples bikes, (at their request only), for many people a new part is a better and more certain option.
