Over the summer I installed a new rotor and rectifier/regulator from Rick's Electrics on my 1974 CB450. I chose to install the reg/rec in the same location that the OEM regulator was mounted previously. The bolt spacing did not match and I did not want to introduce any new holes, so I fashioned a mounting plate to make it all work.
The downside of this solution is interference between the rec/reg and the OEM toolbox, which I like to use to store a couple of spare fuses, cotter pins, and other small items. I've been running without the toolbox for the last couple of months, but I am thinking about modifying the toolbox so I can remount it in the same location. I thought I would solicit advice before cutting it apart. Any suggestions are welcome.
