Hope so too but not 100% convinced. But as I said another run coming up 16/1 and will see how that goes if all fine I wont be touching anything else. If not then as per some feedback I'll start looking at other items and replace and test until I know I can ride with no isses.

Well its 12/2/19 and been out several times long (ish) rides with todays 115 and no problem at all since installing new reg/rec not OE but one with MOFFAT tech. So in the end what I did:

1. Stripped back large part of wiring loom from headlight to near end of tank not issues seen/found.
2. Continuity check on all items leading to and from fuse no.4 using Haynes manual, all seems fine.
3. The right handle bar switch gear taken apart and cleaned/checked although look like new, put some electrical grease in places.
4. Ignition switch/barrel took apart and again was already greased up and the contacts again no apparent issues & continuity checked.
5. Fuse box removed all fuses thorough check for any debris all was fine & I placed some electrical contact grease in no.4.
6. Checked all the relays in the side panel and under tank all clicked/ticked when checked.
7. Replaced reg/rec.

Reference other suggestions I checked the side stand wiring and the alternator wiring no apparent issues no continuity check done, so fingers crossed and AGAIN many thanks for all the suggestions and info.
