Has anybody done the alternator conversion after stator died? How is it working for you?
1984 was the last year Honda made a flat four standard. The next Naked Goldwing if you will was the 6 cylinder Valkyrie. Here is an '84 GL1200 Standard I found online:buildwithwood":2n1ctvdx said:I don't think that a standard has been built since the GL1100!
Also I understand that if even one of the yellow wires from the stator to ground shows continuity, the stator is bad. I checked mine, and am thinking, that for 155 dollars and some scrap iron, a dependable Denso is in store!!

I did the Poorboy alternator conversion in March of 2010. I've put about 8k miles on the bike since then and I have had no problems with the conversion. I used the alternator from a GEO Metro with 50 amp marine circuit breaker. It charges at about 13.2 volts at idle and around 14.2 max at 3k rpm. It's a fairly easy install.

See if you can get a power steering pump pulley from a 1985 Honda. That's what I have on mine.

You are better overdriving the alternator as most automotive ones are a 2.5-3 to 1 ratio with most alternators having a top speed of around 14000rpm.

We have specs in the gallery if you need to have one made. It's for a 4" diameter pulley and serpentine belt.
