There is a huge fan right infront of the engine, my oil temp never got to 90, but I didnt really push it that hard.
You can see it if you zoom in, I also want to know, can I lift the oil cooler to the roof?

Ok, good on the fan....

I don't know about lifting the oil cooler to the roof....that's a question for Randy who deals with remote oil coolers on the Legends/Thunder cars....I don't know if the 2 stage oil pump can lift that high...

I would leave the oil cooler in front of the fan...it's protected and will have good airflow at low speeds.

On the roof with a roll over (far from camp) = more worries for you.

I need to get that voltage regulator now, can someone please tell me or send me a link to which one I should get?
I've been looking at these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Electrosport-Industries-ESR025-Regulator-Internal-Unit-/331094794697?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AFJ1200&hash=item4d16c9a1c9&vxp=mtr
They are just so expensive!
And any ideas to what can cause my main fuse blowing, as far as Im concerned my wiring is in perfect condition, Thanks in advance.

The remote mount Transpo is not that expensive....easy to install...follow the directions in the Files.
@15.7 volts, you need a new regulator for sure...why not start there and see if that cures your main fuse problem.

However it's doubtful in my opinion, but you never know...stranger things have happened.
I still think you have a short or ground fault somewhere....it takes a lot of current to melt that main fuse.

Does anyone have any experience with one of these regulator/rectifiers?

Anyway, I fitted one like it today and it works well, Im just worried because the 3 wires coming from the alternator get quite hot, and the regulator itself also gets warm.
My diagram isnt 100% correct, the red wire from the alternator (black from regulator) is connected to where the brown wire was originally conected.
