Quick Rectifier and RS-3 Questions

Two quick questions:

1) How hot does the rectifier get under load? I've been rewiring my alarm (didn't like how the previous owner had it), and behind the rectifier is a convenient place to put the starter cutoff relay. But I wouldn't want heat to cause the relay to fail - I need to check whether it's wired to the starter or fuel pump relay, fuel pump would be catastrophic if it failed while riding.

2) Does anyone know if both end caps on an RS-3 exhaust are replaceable? I know the exhaust side is. Trying to avoid purchasing a whole new can, but they're not *that* expensive for just one slip-on.

And to contribute something: under the tail on the left side of the bike, behind the plastic cover that mounts to the frame with two black clips, is the perfect place to mount an alarm. Keeps it out of the trunk (can't be easily disabled), and short hookups to the batt, lights, and starter or fuel pump relays.
