In case it helps anyone else out here's the wiring required for the Superdream rectifier here it is as taken from one of the bike sites so if it's wrong don't shoot the messenger!!

The 3 yellow wires that come out from the finned unit which usually has a red shiny sticker on with 12v stamped on it go to the 3 yellow wires that already go to the blade rectifier.

It dosent matter which 3 wires go to which 3 yellow ones as long as they are connected.

There are also a green, black and red wire coming out of the finned unit also.

Ground the green wire to the frame.

connect the Red wire to + wire coming from the blade starter relay (RedWhite on mine).

Black wire to the main +12v feed that comes from the ignition switch to the rest of the bikes electrical items, the same wire that only has 12v on it while the ignition is on. (This is important as it lets the rectifier know when the ignition is on, if it is not connected the regulator thinks the battery has 0volts and send a big charge to it which can fry the battery)

HTH,

They are said to be a lot more robust than the standard weak 'blade rectifier and run cooler.
I've heard from several different sources that they are a good mod.
At the mo' they are generally damn cheap to! (I've just collared on off a private seller on ebay for the princely sum of £9 inc. postage!! - not arrived yet though!)
Even a pukka breaker only wanted £30 inc. postage for one.
It may be wise to suggest if you want one, that you get one soon as once everyone catches on, they'll no doubt start rocketing in price!
