Source for legacy Ducati Voltage Regulators

[n74846]

My VR bit the dust after about 250 hours and I installed my last Ducati spare. I get about the 250 hours and its been easier and cheaper than doing the upgrade mod. I can no long find the original Ducati brand VR, only some Chinese knockoffs. Does any have a source for the originals, or have you had good results with any 'plug and play' replacements? I'd prefer not rewiring the harness or cutting into the cowl. Thanks!

Here's a couple that are expensive but work:

or

If you truffle about on the German site you'll find an English translation.

Thanks for the references. While the B&C is expensive, if it lasts it may be the right way to go. Looks like it has a much better heat sink than the Ducati.

You might consider John Deere AM101406 ~$30 on FleaBay.

Several threads on RV-12 forum. Start here....https://vansairforce.net/community/showthread.php?t=191640&highlight=AM101406

You might try Lockwood Aviation, Sebring FL

Leading Edge Airfoils has a VR for the 912 (with a Rotax part number) in stock (just looked at their web site). Are you looking for something else?

All I have found so far are VR's that require some level of rewiring which is above my skill set. I will talk to Lockwood, but there seems to be a push to the newer design which will be expensive for the retro kit and installation.
Thanks for all of your input.

If you aren’t bound by S-LSA rules, I hear the Harley Davidson VR is bulletproof ..I put one in a Kitfox at the recommendation of Hal Stockman, and so far, it’s been fine.

Just in case you don't find the Ducati
This is the modification for John Deere
