Thanks for posting my pictures. Regarding the pristine condition of the rear of the engine, the bike only has about 1200 miles on it, has rarely been driven in the wet, and the "pristine" area was until yesterday covered by the regulator/rectifier mounting plate. I have also since added some additional zip ties to the rear engine area to keep the various wires well away from the chain.
@@MattGrover I used a piece of 1" lightweight perforated angle iron from Home Depot. I cut a piece about 7" long then split it along the angle to give me two pieces of flat stock. One of these I cut in half, cleaned up the edges, and used them for the relocation brackets. I used the existing holes and slots in the angle iron pieces for mounting. Very simple and easy. 3/4" aluminum flat stock would work just as well but you would have to drill your own holes. I just used what I had in my scrap pile.
MOSFET RR units operate in a different way from the OEM one and generate less heat due to the way they switch internally. However, they are physically bigger, more expensive and the wires are thicker gauge than OEM which means that it’s necessary to cut the OEM wiring harness in order to connect them. I suspect that even a mosfet would struggle in the OEM location under the bike. In my opinion, I think the OEM RR unit is fine, if mounted at the front of the bike.
@@internetpolification thank you I'll be contacting you soon to achieve the results of the relocation just under the oil cooler like in the video have had a t100 2018 for 6 years I love my enfield just as much.....
Ahh 😲 you found James Jayson.James is doing a grwat job with HIS Rectifier Regulator cables & Switch gear & all his lther tips like operation stainless steel & to drill YSS or not etc. James has definitely earnt Legendary Status.
It’s because the OEM location for the RR unit is hot and dirty. This causes the RR unit to burn out and stop working. Re-locating the RR unit it to the front of the bike means improved airflow over the RR cooling fins. Have a look at the preceding video about this….the why? And how? …video. czcams.com/video/ecSIhiQy9hE/video.htmlsi=gOIfZoqTpZhMDXAo

Still a crankcase to be proud of!
Did you have to make any custom bracketry (not a word) for mounting is there?
I just used a 99p L bracket from a local hardware shop and cut it in half. It’s all in my earlier video summary about how to do this modification….

Hi James...this is an amazing mod ..i have sent you an email
I really like this position. When it’s time I’ll do the same. Is there any aftermarket RRs that I should consider?

Your email is where James? I need to do exactly that.....

I have a lovely Honda Pan-European….V4, water cooled 1100. A great piece of engineering. But I reckon I like my Interceptor more!

I want to know why the relocation was needed in the first place?
