Thats prety much the direction I am going with all this, I am going to recheck the battery again today to make sure its still holding a charge. The stator I will try to check tonight since I need an extra set of hands to do that, but given the bikes reputation Iam leaning towards the voltage regulator.
A guy on af1 already offered to sell me one off of his old bike that hes parting out, not sure if I will go with that or just buy the aftermarket one.
