Reg/Rec problems seem to have plagued Hondas (and probably other makes too) for many years. What's so difficult in making a reliable unit, in this age of electronic wizardry?

yor right very common on carb Blackbirds 97-98, units not up to the voltage change, stupid realy considering the
output needed! poor heat distribution, some owners have fitted the much more beefed up version off the Yam r1.
Has taken Honda a long time to get their act together considering all the bad publicity over the years on such a basic item.
