I have experience changing the regulator on my Bonneville....duh..FPR, shoulda known that one.

I'm at 85K miles, when can I expect this thing to fail? So far, no problems

Seriously tho, so far, I replaced the rear air shocks and the radiator, just wear and tear issues. So far so good
Good job. Glad to see you got the deflector back on. I was always scraping mine.
