[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 141594, member: 302"] Bill, this is just info really, I think i was the first person to ask Norman to supply and install a Nippon Denso alternator using his Walkernator kit, Norman duly obliged and it has been fantastic and faultless, I am not sure if Norman agrees with me or not, but I would try and source a genuine Nippon Denso alternator and not a Chinese copy, the Nippon Denso one that I am using is a 16678-64012. It has a built in regulator that has also been faultless, but if it ever does need replacing it is a simple job. I chose not to make a new battery carrier, but just tilted mine backwards slightly to make room, probably 10 degrees off the vertical. I am not sure if this has proved necessary on subsequent conversions. I also had to source the connection plug that connects the alternator to the bikes electrical system, I am not sure how Norman gets round this as it is quite a specialised plug connector. I got mine from Demon Tweeks and paid a disproportionate amount of money for it, the Alternators are sold under the brand of Brize, but the costs are eye wateringly high, make sure you are sitting down if you look them up. My original one I got free from my Son who works in the Heavy Plant industry, but that was a favour, Kubota do sell them as a spare part, but their prices are also eyewatering, I purchased a genuine spare of ebay for £40.00 a few years back, just to have a spare on the shelf (a typical Vincent Owner) but as yet I have not needed to use it. Although visually it is quite a noticeable deviation from standard, it is an improvement that I would not hesitate to carry out again on another bike, if you have everything else in order on your bike, wiring and battery etc. there is simply nothing you could fit that would stress this system, electric start, ignition, very powerful lights, indicators, heated clothing, anything, literally anything, if only you could fit it as a direct replacement for a Miller or Lucas generator everyone would fit one. Just found an original Nippon Denso 16678-64012 on Ebay, £172-80 ouch! [/QUOTE]
