Just thought this would be a cool new topic. If there is already one in existence please let me know so I can delete this one, or a mod can do it. As for me I finished my under tail project and rode the crap out of it.
What did you do to your SV today? (mods, farkles, maintenance, etc)

I went puddle jumping on my way to work this morning. The rain passed about 30 minuted before I left this morning. Time to lube the chain.

Not quite, besides, this thread is about what you did to your SV TODAY. Not about your feelings toward non-year-round riders.
Threadjack over.

I'm not an electrical engineer, and no very little about regulaters/rectifiers, but I think you might be starving yours for cooling air with it in that location. Maybe cut a hole and mount it with the cooling fins sticking down?Still need to do the finishing work, so it looks kind of rough. It's a very simple design. OK, lets try this:

That's a thought. I think down is usually bad when it comes to heatsinks, but maybe I could put a 2-3" fan on it to keep the air moving.

Cut holes in your tail plastic.

I was thinking of getting the fins under your sheet metal, so they would be in the air above your rear tire, but in looking at your picture cutting a hole and reverse mounting it would be difficult. Probably easier just to bolt it underneath.
Like I said, I don't know how much heat they produce or at what point they fail, but I did have one fail on me once, and it's definitely something to avoid. Maybe some of our more experienced/smarter than me (just about everyone) members can chime in.
You might actually want to post that picture in the modifications page and ask opinions.

Put amber bulbs in the parking lights and wired them with the integrated mirrors.

Actually, if you can get a solid contact of that heat sink to that plate, the plate might transfer some of the heat just with air moving across the underside of the plate. otherwise, it wouldn't be too difficult to run a small duct back there- wouldn't take much. An inch in diameter probably.
