[Ducati] 98 916 alternator to regulator connector

[ducatisti]

The best solution is to hardwire it to the alternator with no connector, 
preferably with larger wire as the single phase alternators can barely 
keep up with the load. Be sure to check the insulation as well - it has 
a tendency to melt and short the alternator wires just prior to the 
connector.
