Please help diagnose this.

Guy, I remember helping load yours, but was asleep on the seat, I suppose, when it died, so did not observe the failure until after the fact -- at which time it had cooled down, and the smell of Hades had subsided.  That trip was my introduction to the R/R issue, but boy, it got my attention!

It got mine too. Two (2) R/R failures on one trip seem like something we ought to pay attention too. I was really great to have all the MOOT folks around to bail me out. A special thanks to you, Charles, and the others who helped load my Maggie up and haul her home.
I bought a used RR (It actually came out of an ATV, and I had to splice a ground wire.) I haven't had a problem since.

Here's a link to my post on my RR replacement.

food for thought:  I bought my magna with a burnt up r/r.  I purchased a new one on ebay for half the price and didn't notice the positive and negative pins were backwards and it kept popping the main fuse.  make sure your pins are pinned in the proper terminal lol.  cost me two hours before I solved it lol.

Well, at least fuses are cheaper than Regulator/Rectifier modules...

that is true lol, but i will tell you my stress level and frustation level was just as bad lol.
