Hi there,
I'm a relatively new owner of a 1993 ST1100, and familiar with the alternator replacement and red wire bypass. I have not checked yet if the bike has the upgraded alternator yet, nor the red wire bypass. I'll check this sometimes soon and know the 40a has slotted vents. I am curious to know if the original alternator can support a usb charger. If the original alternator can support, do you know what the maximum voltage/amp it can provide for accessory use? I recently connected a usb charger to another bike with (2) sockets that can support 5v/2.1amp each socket, seems this is the standard port capacity for charging a mobile phone.
Also, if you can share a picture of a usb port setup you have (including brand/model) and if you connected directly to the battery, or somewhere else on the bike (in my other bike I had a spare auxiliary port to connect to)?
Thanks,
Doron
