Lost power while on the freeway!

Guys have used one from a Kawasaki, I believe, to replace theirs. I don't know which one tho.
Personally when mine goes, I wouldn't go the Ebay route. This is one of those applications I wouldn't trust to a part with a sketchy history.
I heard good things about these guys for an aftermarket replacement

Having had a bad R/R on the bike when I got mine I speak a little from experience. I got a used stocker for $15 from a nice member here and have been rocking it for about a year now with no problem. Had it not been for that, I would have gone aftermarket.
I can see that advantage of a heat sink on the aftermarket ones but a fan just seems like more than you really need. Seems like the heat sink is plenty of extra heat dissipation.

Seems a little overkill to me.

normally id agree,
but with chinese plastics and how easy they melt/bend/warp
and how hot that r/r gets,
i think it can be a good solution at least for bikes like mine

WTF... when does your R/R get that hot? You might want to check if your stator's working too hard or something. Even my stocker with no heat sink doesn't even get close to that hot..
