Ok, what if someone put in the same gauge wires then with no plugin's? Has anyone ever operated on a rectifier? I'm thinking if someone could get in there where the yellow wires are placed, they could remove them and put in new wires and solder them in place direct. and use j b weld or epoxy to close up the wound after surgery...Is this dumb or will this work? I truly don't know as I'm no sparky..I just had a idea that's all...

I did this in the Fall of 2011. The instructions are excellent and it was not difficult.

unfortunately shortly after I woke it up from its Winter nap the next year the new plug melted together.

Since I am not worried about a concours bike I just soldered the wires together to eliminate the connection. No more melting issues and the connections show no signs of excess heat.

Endeavor to Persevere

I've done this, as well. Solder, 2 layers of heat shrink and several turns of electrical tape. If I ever have to replace the stator, I'll just pick up the license plate and drive an 1100 under it. Problem solved..
