Yes, and they are all out regulator/rectifier's, with a 60 day wait for a new supply.  The reason they gave me over the phone is that they are changing suppliers and their new supplier has to re-tool.  The guy I talked to on the phone had no information on whether they were expecting a higher quality product.

Looks like Rick's is the only alternative right now.

Good find, Tremalzo.  Their part numbers are the same as Electrex, so I assume that's what they are supplying.  If Electrosport will no lomger be using Electrex, then the site you mentioned should be a source for electrex stuff.  They're in the UK but ship worldwide.

Also after I posted my previous response, I found that Dennis Kirk has both the Electrex and Rick's items in stock.  It will be interesting to see if they continue with Electrex.

Looks like Electrex has just changed its name.  Their diagnostic chart & other places on the site still say Electrex.

My Rick's stator looked pretty good when I took the left cover off a couple weeks ago.  1 year & 2K miles.  Browned a bit but otherwise solid.

Rick's R/Rs are the exact same ones that were originally supplied on the Vision.  At least they were last year.
