I didnt mean on the cover, just in relation to it. Dunno your side of the pond as regards replacement, Ive never had to replace one on either of my Girlies

Depending on the point of view, the burn marks are at about 3:30 facing the inside of the cover. (forward on bike with cover in place.)

Just bought a SH847 "super kit" from RoadsterCycle & a Rick's Stator from Parts Giant.
Apparently, according to Jack @ RoadsterCycle the SH775's price just went through the roof and the SH847 is now the way to go.
We'll see....
The ride might be fun, but in the great scheme of things, it's the destination that counts.

HAving had the fun of chasing dead rec / stator / battery round in circles ad nauseum, I recommend changing all three.  Costly I know, but you are at least starting from a baseline and with all new connectors (which are often the start of the woes).  While assembling, use some electrics grease, like the stuff boatyards stock.  It'll help prevent future problems and finally,  acheck the connectors rtegularly to head off problems.  Or, wrap them in amalgamating tape to keep the damp out.

Battery is fairly new, but may wind up in my 1050 that I'm selling, so may get a fresh start after all.

Job is complete and after a 100 mile test run, all is great with a consistent 14.6V showing at idle and 14.7V while underway.
No more erratic gauge behavior, and starts right back up.
I'll do a writeup on the install of the SH847 soon.

Good news  :thumbsup

I suspect a few people will be interested in that instrument you've fitted, would you mind song a short write up in the Toys & Farkles section when you have a few minutes.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

It simply plugs into the 12V adapter that I installed for my GPS unit. Available on eBay.
Most had either Centigrade for the temperature readout or volts only.
Thinking of carrying them on my website WWW.Jack-Be-Quick.com
Think they'd sell?

BTW, writeup for the SH847 is here:  http://www.tigertriple.com/forum/index.php/topic,16276.0.html
