[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 158370, member: 456"] On my bike with the Iskra alternator the battery had to go back about 3/4". On B/C twins I get the alternator to turn at double the engine speed and one never sees a discharge on the ammeter. On 'D's I can get the alternator to turn slightly faster. On Comets there is not enough space for a larger pulley on the dynamo replacement and so on Comets one does not balance the lights etc at 30 mph in top gear. Third gear in heavy traffic will solve that problem. For those who think that the alternator looks ugly, father and son combo, John and Peter Appleton came up with a scheme to put a horn bezel on the end of the alternator to partially hide it. Here is a photo of one such modification on a Comet. [ATTACH type="full"]50711[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
