Long time no post... 1e3 apologies

My sexy red 2005 baby is approaching 60k km:)
But now is giving me minor issues, first the symptoms and then I'll present my laymans guess as to whats wrong:

Blew the OEM flasher unit (was using LED indicators with resistor packs (sorry Le Cap) for 2 years with out any issues before though)
Indicators flash faster at higher Revs (using el cheapo Midas flasher unit (KLR FTW!))
Blew the 5A Filament on the tail-light globe
Blew the 10A fuse for the main lights/instrument cluster and tail lights (fun ride home on N1 at 23h00...)

I think the Rectum Fryer is not dumping the excess power generated at higher revs.
Centurion Lifestyle just quoted me R1732.85 with a 15 day lead time for a new one!!!

How do I go about testing if rectifier is indeed dodgy? Le Cap do you still have your three spare ones?
