Andy - I bought the Schicke GR6 regulator
http://www.schicke-electronic.de/dgr3.htm
but I have not yet got to the stage of installing it in my Europa build. Despite
the LAA standard mod SM12970 showing the supplier as Conair, I found they did
not have any in stock ("there's no demand") and were uninterested in ordering
one for me. However Herr Schicke was happy to deal direct with me in euros and
communicates well in english. He doesn't do credit cards or paypal so I did
an international bank transfer and that worked well although the bank fee for
doing it was higher than one might have hoped!
I'm sure others are actually flying with the GR6 - but maybe not for longer than
the mean-time-between-failure of the Ducati unit - so perhaps no-one can say
yet if it's more long-lived.
BTW, before you ask, I already sold my Ducati unit!
Hope this is of some use.
in friendship
