Default What brand of R/R whould I buy?

As many others, I have to replace my F3's r/rectifier. What brand do you recomend guy... Electrosport (that the bad one I have right now), Ricks, Regulatorrectifier.com, any other?
Mine works fine when cold but dies when hot; it will work again when it cools down.

just find an oem one or you can buy an aftermarket one from ebay that a few members seem to have had luck with. i personally rather put oem and they can be found cheap @ local recycle yards

i had a electrical problem awhile ago and took the bike to the shop and they told me that my r/r was busted and it was like 3 month (after-market) so they told me that aftermarket r/r/ are mostly crap, not saying all of them are, maybe just had bad luck with that one, so they told me that the best shot is to get an OEM one which i did and i haven't had any problems with the oem. so i would recommend going for the oem one.

most after market are made very cheaply and wont last . oem R/R's if you think about it actually have lasted a long time assuming your f3 is a 95 (1st year ) it would be 13 years old . i still say oem is best but you can find nice aftermarket ones that will last longer then oem but im sure for price oem is best deal around aslong as its in decent shape

A GSXR1000 R/R is the part to use in replacing the OEM part. this is time-proven and you'll never **** with it again.

Search eBay, about $50.

I called all the Mexico city (where I live)Honda dealers for the OEM R/R but the best time they would give me is 8 working days. I need the bike for a track day this sunday; so I asked at suzuki and they had the gsxr R/R in stock and i bought it today. I did a quick test and it seems to be working..... let's see how it does with heat.
