Good afternoon all! The stator died on my '82 Aspencade, and I've heard mostly good things about converting to an alternator instead of doing a downright replacement of the stator. I've read all the threads on this forum, but am still a bit at a loss... I could be missing something (entirely likely), but I can't seem to find the information I'm looking for. I keep seeing people mention an alternator kit for my '82 Aspencade, but where can I find it? What does it include, what extras do I need to get and how do I install it?
As for my mechanical skills, I'm pretty handy on car engines, motorcycles, not so much... thankfully, my neighbor next door loves this stuff, and is more than capable of working on bikes of all makes (and thankfully willing to help me for some beers and steak!). I'd like to do as little fabricating as possible, but if it needs to be done, I have some help I can get with it.
I appreciate any answers and advice you guys can give me... I see a few of you are in the midst of doing them yourselves, and when I get down to doing mine, I would be more than happy to post pics, updates and such. I'm hoping to have my 'wing up and ready for a big group ride this summer down in North Carolina!
Kind regards, Ryan
