I did not take notice at first that my headlight was perhaps 10-12 degrees over the left and that I was blinding a lot of people. I sort of got annoyded driving at night so in my most devious moments, I decide to put ...2 lights (4.5") at headlamp level hight on the fearing,2 fog lamps (4.5") on the lower crash bar,2 lights (2.5") below the saddles pointing on the sides at a 30 degree angle,1 USB port to charge all of my junk. ie: gps, cell, etc...,4 miniature lights that works with the signal signs, very low amp and piggied to the signals. i had to increase my signal light fuse from 10  to a 20amp.I have checked all of the starting equipment and narrowed it to the stator.  Now should I assume (big word) that if i replace the stator everything should fine or I'm still SOL.I have seen some web site where the guy has converted his aspencade with a regular alternator. That said, would that have more juice or cause more problems. Where I'm a little bewelded is to the choice considering that both are time consuming projects, with one not involving to remove the engine (interesting) and the other involving customized work (need tools).The bigger question, is how come I see interstate/aspencade with all kinds of flashing galore on their bike and they are in good running condition. (is it duracell batteries again?)Any feedback would be interesting. Thank you /Mike</blockquote>
