   Am needing to change out at least one of the motorcycle-style batteries
that were in my L-200 / 320 when I bought it.  Am wondering if, now that I
need to buy SOMETHING, anybody could give me some advice on what should work
best, as far as specific types / sizes of M/C batteries, or even if it would
be worth my while to change to a different system altogether.  Have the
batteries mounted on each side right at the front of the baggage compartment.
Also, I think the voltage regulator is trying to go south on me - keeps trying
to run up to 16v every now & again.  Have to bump the flaps once or twice to
get it back down.  Could use input on best alternator
and regulator combinations.
   Would just like to say a very heart-felt THANK YOU to all of you who have
been taking your time to help others out on the LML.  I have learned an
incredible amount about my plane from reading through all your postings.
Having purchased the plane and not built it myself, the knowledge I have
gained is tremendous.  I wish each and every one of you the best on your
projects!
   BTW - Marv, you make all this happen for us.  My check will be arriving
soon!
                         THANX !
