Remove the stator after Poorboy conversion

[wingandaprayer]

I took a gander at the parts diagram for the charging system here:

Just so I am sure - there is no benefit to removing any internal parts - all stock parts should remain in the engine after the alternator conversion, correct?

if you were to go through the trouble of removing the engine to take out the stator you might just as well have replaced it.

Just disconnect the stock stator.

Hi troops
I'm in process of doing my poorboy conversion

No probs yet Taking it nice and slow don't want to mess it all up

Brackets are on new alt in situ

Next job next weekend fitting crank pully and finish off


When I've finished how do I disconnect the original system ???

[SIR tricky]

Disconnect the plug that goes to the regulator.
You will find it on the frame left side in front of the regulator

What does Poorboy include with his conversions? It's pretty easy to get your own pulley and bracket not sure if his conversions include anything more?

[SIR tricky]

Bracket, pulley, lower bushings & nuts, spacers, maybe some other things.

I made my bracket and spacers etc but it does take machinery to make them, if your handy and have the stuff and ability then have a go, it just take numerous fittings to get it right, getting the kit takes care of that.

What's the length of the belt I should obtain to connect crank pulley to alternator pulley ????

Thanks

belt length will depend on size of crank pulley and the alternator,once you have crank pulley installed and alt mounted,take a string and loop it around the pulleys and measure,that measurement should get you close,most installs are usually in the range of 28" to 31" normally

The belt I have used on the last few conversions I have done is a NAPA # 25-030310. Works good with my kit.

Just disconnect the stock stator.

Tricky - ya I took a look in the saddlebags and found some weight saving possibility there first

Gadgit,
The length of the belt according to the package it came in is 13/32" x 31-5/8" or 11mm x 805mm. Hope this helps.

Well well well
I've finally done it

External alternator now all up and running

47 hrs of sweat and toil

After 3 alternators got it right
Ist one too big.
2nd one was faulty. Denso 8162 from rare electrial
3rd one super super Denso 8162 from rare electrial

Poorboy top and bottom brackets brilliant
Used different crank pully and bolt

Boy oh boy was them timing belt covers hard to cut but got there

When replacing radiator it was totally useless bottom pipe connector loose
Hole in top
Had radiator revamped and re cored now like new

Had to make brackets for radiator I used threaded 8mm rod with washers and locking nuts

Fairing went straight back on well nearly

On tick over getting 13.6 v
On 1400 + revs getting 14.5 v

On test run no leaks all ok
On first outing after 50 miles stopped water all over floor
Turned out radiator cap not on securely silly me

Well it's now all done
I thank all you people's out there
For all the help and advice on the threads and pm's

Thank you thank you thank you
