week.

understand the issue with the voltage, as I replaced the regulator in the
alternator in early June.  Perhaps it is the guage, as all the electrical
items I had running did run fine.  As for the sudden dying while in
transit,
I have yet to figure that one out... I may chalk it up as weather related
or
perhaps (if my voltage was that low) the electronic ignition was
malfunctioning.

Sigh, life with a Triumph...

Kai,  

Be sure and check the fan belt tension.  Especially if you have replaced it

recently.  Belts tend to streach a bit after first installation and without

proper tension the alternator pulley will slip and you will not get full
output
from the alternator.  Ask me how I know.
