I came across this Video, I thought it worth passing on

Good video. Good information.
Have seen a lot of knockoff and just junk replacement parts.......
Of note, the guys that seemed to be having perpetual charging system problems (using "aftermarket" parts)- nearly always solved those problems by getting a voltage regulator from the dealer, and not off of some vendor online claiming "direct replacement item".

The V7 regulator that came on my '13 was charging at 15+ volts. I solved the problem by installing an aftermarket unit. The OEM regulator was the problem, pretty common with the '13s.

Handy info. I purchased mine from Roadster Cycle who made the video.
A lot of Guzzi owners seem to prefer the EuroMoto or whatever they call themselves, the Ducati crowd prefer the Shindengen units.
If any of the Guzzis regs go south, I woulldn't hesitate and replace it with a Shindengen. They are not cheap though (which is probably why the bulk of Guzzi owners don't use them) but I'd rather just do a job once

When I rebuilt the Grandsons minchopper (50cc repowered with a 110cc) I turned the half wave rectified system into a full waved. Knock off regulator $8-00NZ brand new off our local Trademe. Looks exactly the same as the $130 official ones. Voltage figures are exactly where they should be and still goes fine.
Cheap is good, free is better (Guzzi content :wink:)
