Regulator / Rectifier on a 1995 ST1100 ex RAF Police bike

Hi, help please, I have owned an ex RAF police service bike for the last few years, I have done many faultless miles on it, until this summer when the regulator gave up the ghost whilst I was travelling through France, the problem I seem to have is this: The regulator - part number 31600MZ9901is no longer in production, having searched the internet, Iam drawing a blank in my search ? the regulator has the following etched on to the bottom of it SH236B-11

Has anyone any ideas or know of a way around this? Any help gratefully received.

thanks Jay Shepard Glossop Derbyshire UK

Others can chime in but to the beST of my knowledge the non-authority model ST1100s' VRR should work fine, plugs right into the white 6P connector on the 28amp equipped bikes, and is STill available.

Yep, the P-spec had the VRR with the big heat-sink and different, extended wiring loom, as seen here:

Seems you will need to adapt one of the aftermarket ones:

(results of a very brief search, there more around out there...)

Thanks for the replies, I wasn't aware the ST1100 VRR would do the same job as I was told mine creates more amps as it has a 'generator' ? I have found a few on ebay not sure if they would work though?

Click to expand...

As long as it hadn't been modified by a PO, the P-spec uses the very same, oil cooled 26A generator as the civil model; only the VRR was "enforced", by applying a type with enlarged cooling surface to cope with the additional load of patrol lights and radio.
The standard civil VRR used the footrest plate its backside is attached to/in contact with as heat-sink; you'll need to remove the bracket for the P-spec VRR first though...
