G'day Frank,
Honda does seem to be doing their utmost to destroy their reputation for reliability by tucking their regulators in the most unlikely places ... the older bikes always used to have them out in the breeze, and never suffered this problem. VFR owners who've improved their heatsinks don't seem to have the problem any more, either.

I reckon Honda are just jealous of BMW's fine work in mounting
semiconductors _inside_ the engine casing :-).
