[QUOTE="Ohara, post: 195687, member: 4634"] Well, I have finally finished working on the Aspencade for now. The alternator conversion is completed. I did manage to go for a short ride yesterday and found this bike to run and ride really nice. I have 14 volts at idle running a 4 inch crank pulley and with 55 watts I can start saving for heated grips and vest. Things I found while doing this project: The belts were way too tight causing too much heat contributing to the pulse generators dying. The fan was coming on at 3 bars, possibly contributing to the stator failing. Yes the lowers fit as original, I did have to use a heat gun on the left side to mould in a small amount of clearance. This reconfirms why you should put new belts on a new to you Oldwing Thanks to Dan for suggesting the 2 to 1 ratio for the alternator drive. And thanks to all that have posted pictures and talked about their conversions. I will post pictures soon as I have time.. :yahoo: Next project is rebuilding the starter on the Interstate. [/QUOTE]
