Genuine Lucas Stators

Single phase 12V 120W 2 wire (RM21) LU47205 Pt.no. ALT10109 £124.95 Used with the A Reg Six, 6V regulator/rectifier, this stator is also suitable for a 6V system, replacing the old 3 wire stator.

This is the only Lucas stator that will run a 12V system without battery. A capacitor must be used (Pt.no. CAP01 £11.95)

Single phase 12V 200W 2 wire (RM23) Pt.no. ALT10190 £124.95 These are rated at 200W but max. output is almost 300W at 10,000 RPM. Use the RM21 if your bike is all LEDs

SOLID STATE REGULATOR/RECTIFIER

FOR ALTERNATORS

Other dealers sell similar looking products, if it hasn't got an A Reg label on the back it isn't an A Reg

Over 6000 A Regs sold since 2010 (Nov. 2019)

 

A REG SIX £39.95

This 6V regulator will suit any Lucas / Miller type 6V alternator and will give proper Voltage control to prevent boiled batteries/blown bulbs and allow the safe use of AGM batteries such as the Cyclons. Because of the way the alternator is wired more power is available when the battery is low. Can be wired Pos. or Neg. earth. Very reliable & simple to install. A Reg./Rect. is essential if fitting electronic ign. to a 6V alternator bike.

They come with full instructions. Pt.no. AREG6

67 x 59 x 24MM mounting holes 6MM dia. 55MM apart

 
     
A REG ONE £39.95

These 12V regulators suit any Lucas / Miller / Wipac type alternator and replace the Zener diode and the rectifier. They can also be used when converting from 6V to 12V and come with full instructions. Very reliable & simple to install.

They are rated at 25A which is 300W and have been tested to max. output with our 200W alternator

They can be used without a battery if a Capacitor is fitted, see below. Can be wired Pos. or neg. earth

They are suitable for std. 120W & high output 200W alternators. Pt.no. AREG1

On a Commando the warning light assimilator should be disconnected or replaced by our Charge Warning light driver (NCLD)

67 x 59 x 24MM mounting holes 6MM dia. 55MM apart

 

They also suit the Alton alternator/electric start as supplied for Commandos. They are not suitable for the Alton Dynamo replacement alternators.

     

A REG THREE £39.95

Pt.no. AREG3

For 3 phase alternators up to 200W

Can be wired Pos. or neg. earth

70 x 65 x 27MM

 
     

Pt.no REG10121 at £84.95

CAPACITOR (AKA BATTERY ELIMINATOR)

The Red wire is positive, the Black wire negative. Connect the other way & it will go pop.

 

This replaces the Lucas 2MC Capacitor, the blue thing the size of a cotton reel under the seat on Commandos. It enables the bike to be started without a battery, providing it is fitted with the RM21 alternator or equivalent.

A failing capacitor can slowly discharge a battery, so if your battery is dying unexpectedly early it is worth changing the capacitor first.

The 2MC was 4700 microFarads, & so is ours. Larger capacity capacitors are available at an inflated price but there is no advantage.

Fitting a capacitor to any alternator bike will slightly increase its charging potential, may increase battery life & could prevent damage to a Regulator/Rectifer by minor unnoticed faults.

They are now smaller & robust enough to not need mounting in a wire spring, just cable tie them securely.

£11.95 Pt.no. CAP01

 

BRIDGE RECTIFIER

The bridge rectifier shown here replaces the lucas finned rectifiers fitted to British bikes from the 1950s to the late 1970 and will suit all models 6/12V fitted with an alternator except electric start Triumphs and Nortons.

The older Lucas rectifiers needed fins to dissipate the heat generated, these are more efficient in rectifing all the current so need no finning and supply more current to the battery. Easy to connect, and supplied with wiring instructions. Rated up to 25A £5.25 Pt.no.REC001

Dimensions are 30MM x 30MM x 23MM

 

GENUINE LUCAS RECTIFIER

 

This is a new Lucas rectifier as originally fitted to Lucas equipped single phase 6/12V alternator bikes of the 1960s & early 70s.

It is a simple bridge rectifier & does not provide any Voltage control, ideal if you really want everything original looking, otherwise the A Reg One & A Reg Six above are a better, cheaper bet.

Pt.no. REC10135

£49.95

 

V- REG 2B DYNAMO VOLTAGE REGULATOR, 6V & 6V - 12V UPGRADE

A 6V Lucas/Miller dynamo in good condition is capable of powering a 12V system allowing the use of modern lighting components. The E3H "short" dynamo will happily run a bike at 12 V fitted with the 35/35W Quartz Halogen headlight bulb. Whereas if everything is in good condition, the E3L as fitted to most 1950s twins is capable of powering the full 60/55W. There is no need to alter the dynamo in any way.

The V Reg can also be used on many foreign dynamo equipped bikes. See Bosch Dynamo Wiring

 

This device is proven and reliable. Available in Positive or Negative earth, also to run a 6V system.

The dynamo regulator is designed to replace the mechanical regulator with modern reliable semiconductors, and can handle up to 100W at 6V and even more for the 12V version, provided the dynamo is capable of delivering this power.

£52.95 Pt.nos. VREGPOS & VREGNEG

 
Fitted to the inside of a Miller regulator

The regulator must be used with a good battery (minimum 5 Amp-hours) and is guaranteed, subject to correct fitting and use with a good dynamo.

New features include: Current limit to the field winding, allows excellent performance when using a 6V dynamo on a 12V system while not straining the dynamo. Tougher electronics, with the introduction of higher energy spark suppression to reduce spikes generated by the dynamo. Improved "thermal foldback" which progressively reduces output power if the regulator gets too hot, indirectly limiting the dynamo from excessive current. Better servo loop stability, with new electronics which 'predict' when the output voltage is nearly correct and control the field current earlier.

The V-Reg 2B will run a 6V system or by cutting a simple wire link will run a 12V system.

Dimensions are 50 x 42 x 22MM

How to Repolarize a dynamo An easy way to test a dynamo

 

CHARGE/CUT-OUT SWITCH FOR MAGNETO IGN. BIKES

 

This is a double sided switch that is wired so that when in the 'Off' position it shorts the mag cutout to earth & the other pole breaks the battery connection preventing any discharge through the regulator.

It also provides some extra anti-theft properties and prevents a battery going flat if the bike is unused for long periods.

It also prevents accidently leaving the lights on & flattening the battery.

If left in the 'On' position after the engine is stopped, it causes no problems, the effect is just as if the switch had not been fitted.

An existing cut-out button can be left in place. A 20MM hole is needed for mounting.

Supplied with wiring, two keys & instructions

Pt.no. SWMAG £32.95

 

CHARGE WARNING LIGHT

(No Charge Lamp Driver)

This simple device connects between the ignition switch & earth. 12V only.

When the ignition is turned on the lamp lights.

When the engine starts and the battery is being charged the lamp goes out. No charge it stays on.

This can be used on an alternator system or a dynamo system used to power coil ignition.

Replaces the warning light assimilator on Commandos. Full instructions are supplied.

Without warning light £24.95 Pt.no. NCLD

With warning light (Red, Blue, Green or amber) £30.45

Supplied with instructions. Pt.No. NCLDWL + colour

 

 

BATTERY VOLTAGE / STATUS MONITOR (INDICATOR)

The Battery Status Monitor (BSM) is a LED voltmeter designed to monitor the Voltage across a 6 or 12V battery. It is an easy to see what is happening to the battery, charging - not charging - over charging. Battery low - fully charged.
 

 

Under 10.75 Volts. The battery Voltage is very low, the LED will flash red slowly

At 12V Battery is still low and the LED maintains a constant red.

12.5 - 13.5V battery fully charged (engine not running) the LED will show orange.

Over 13.8V battery charging the LED shows green

Over 15.25V Overcharging. Fast red flash.

The dia. is 10MM with an 11MM base. this clicks into a 14MM holder

Also serves as an ignition on reminder

12V Pt.no. BSM12V £27.95 ea. 6V Pt.no. BSM6V £27.95

 

Now available for handlebar mounting using a chrome plated clip & sleeve.

Pt.no. BSMHB6V & BSMHB12V

£31.95

 

On coil ign. bikes it is wired to switch off with the ign. so connect it to the live feed from the ign. switch or the coil.

On dynamo bikes it can be wired to the speedo light.

The BSM is protected against reverse connection and unlike an Ammeter is immune to vibration. An ambient light sensor is incorporated that dims the LED for night time.
