Hello this is my first post on here after reading for the last couple of weeks.
i have the unfortunate pleasure of having a 1078 that decided to fry its alternator.
now after having no luck finding one i decided to take it apart and found the issue (a blown rotor) and the thing that caused the problem (mv making a large object fit in a small space).
i managed to make a rotor from a zx7r p model fit by machining down 1.5mm on each end and 1mm off the back of the drive plate.
so to cut a long story short my alternator now works but it would a appear the regulator is damaged as im getting 15v at idle.
does anyone know of a replacement part for this model, preferably in uk or Europe.
cheers
Paul
