I am in the process of fitting a DVR2 Regulator/Rectifier but I am having a little bit of an issue working out which wires are the field winding and armature wires.
I have a '61 G3LS with one of these currently connected,
I am not faffing with 12V conversion yet.

Re: DVR2 Regulator/Rectifier
You seem to be very confused! A '61 G3LS should have an alternator with a rectifier. A DVR2 regulator is for a dynamo system. You need a modern regulator/rectifier such as Podtronics etc. I would strongly advise changing to 12 volts at this stage. It simplifies everything.

Re: DVR2 Regulator/Rectifier
I thought that when I started looking at things, doesn't help most of the manuals seem to show both options on the bikes.
I don't want to go 12V, its a 6V bike and I am happy with it that way. -Just as grumpy with people saying just use metric bolts.
Not to worry, I can use it on the '57 AJS that does have a Mag. Just assumed that it was a Reg/Rec.

Re: DVR2 Regulator/Rectifier
Ive had one of these fitted to my 61 G80 (6v system) for several years now and it's been no bother at all. Alan Osborne is extremely helpful with advice etc. Highly recommended.

Re: DVR2 Regulator/Rectifier
+ 1 for the A Reg stuff.
Very reliable and good value. Have used a good few at 12v and a couple at 6. No problems ever, yet. Good opportunity to simplify the wiring at the same time and eliminate a good few points of possible failure.
