From the factory, British motorbikes were fitted with a rectifier and either 1 or 2 Zener diodes. Because they consist of fragile electrical components that can dry up over time or fail from vibrations. You can replace the parts themselves but the quality of replacement rectifiers and Zener diodes leaves a lot to be desired, so we recommend replacing them with solid state regulators.
Here's are the regulators we spoke about in this tutorial: www.thebonnevilleshop.com/pro...

Thanks for the video. I just bought my first Triumph, a 1964 Trophy. So far I'm loving it. It's a 6v system and I haven't decided if I should upgrade to 12 or not. I'm currently going through the bike trying to figure out what changes previous owners have done to it. It appears that I have the Tympainium reg/rec unit installed, or something that looks just like it. Seems to be working okay.

Many years ago, when I was working for a Triumph dealership as a mechanic, we had a customer come in with a charging issue. My boss ask him where the Zener diode was? He said "the what?" My poss pointed to the location of the heat sync under the head light and said "the thing that goes there." "That" he said, "I fooled with it a while but I could never get it to honk so I threw it out."

I am wondering if you can help me with a question I have for my 1962 Pre-Unit Bonneville, that I just finished restoring. This bike apparently has only a rectifier from the factory (the type that looks like a couple of disks pressed together) mounted under the seat. In none of the wiring diagrams for the bike, nor in the wiring harness, is there any mention of, or provisions for, a regulator. I want to keep my bike at 6 volts as original designed. What would you suggest I do?
