RE: harley rotor stator regulator
it has been quite a challenge trying to remain positive about a bike that breaks down and needs more attention than a needy girlfriend. any way. i had pulled the primary cover to replace the stator and see what happened and one of the magnets on the rotor was missing a chunk....likely came loose and got chewed up in the casing and shorted the stator windings, frying my voltage regulator as well....so i call harley dealy and get price for the 3 parts. over 800 bucks and they are of different amps, the rotor was 45 the stator 32 and the regulator 38, but the dealer says its the right one for the bike (i expected a future issue because i explained to him pumping a max 45 amps will over heat a 32 amp stator (it is just a coil of wire) and likely pop my 40 amp breaker. so i declined the harley dealer parts cause it sounded like he didn't understand my concern, and i ordered and bought a matched 38 amp set of rotor stator and regulator from jp cycles for 350 dollars for all 3 pieces. how sweet. my bike was parked wile i waited on parts again. and i was a full week into my vacation before i got them. i put it together on a sunday night in yellowknife canada, drove to sturgis on that bike, about 4000 miles with out an electrical problem. i replaced the battery before i left for the hell of it. in sturgis i had to find a welding shop... the tail pipe /muffler ripped the metal bracket from the mount under the hard bags so it needed welding. we drove back trouble free ...i've attached a pic going into yellowsone park before we hit sturgis... thanks for the email clayton ride safe and keep in touch
