Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my 1981 or newer Big Twin?

No — this regulator is specific to 1976-1980 Big Twin models. Newer years use different electrical systems.

What does a regulator do?

The regulator controls alternator output voltage to prevent battery overcharge and electrical system damage during operation.

Is this a direct bolt-in replacement?

Yes — it mounts directly in place of the original Harley regulator using the stock mounting points.

How do I know if my regulator has failed?

Signs include dim or flickering lights, a dead battery, or a battery that won't charge. A multimeter test at the battery terminals will confirm low or unstable voltage output.

Cycle Electrics Rectifier/Regulator for Shovelhead (early 78). 14.25v at idle, 14.26v at 2500 rpm. Great stuff!! Old OEM unit stopped regulating and was putting +20v into the battery.
