[QUOTE="Bill Cannon, post: 108769, member: 152"] Bruce, I am the guilty party! My daughter lives near Wagrain so I only came over on the tuesday and the sunday. Starter motor is from a BMW F800 but looiks like a generic Lapanese one. Reduction and ring gears and sprag clutch are from a Suzuli Intruder 800., mounted behind the Commando belt drive clutch. Has proved reliable for about 700 miles so far, which is better than my experience with the previous Grosset. Alternator is a Kubota 140W. I originally tried to run it off the smooth side of the primary bely but it slipped so didn't keep the battery charged. This MkII version, completed on the Saturday I left for Austria, charges well but is causiing a problem with the run of the primary belt, hence I only used it for very short rides. I have now slimmed down the alternator to move it out of the way of the primary belt which is now one size shorter. I think this should work OK but hasn't been road tested yet. Cheers Bill [/QUOTE]
