RichPeabody,thank you for the kind offer,but mine works fine right now.It's just that the consensus is that it will fail somewhere around 80K,and although I'm only at 53K now,I really don't like the "sword hanging over my head" feeling that I have,knowing it'll get worse as I put miles on the bike...Plus,I would like to feel comfortable in adding powered accessories...I just had an idea that I could remove the 28A and take it to an automotive alternator shop and have them rebuild it with a higher amperage output.Thinking this mainly for the ease of installing it back onto the bike...I just wasn't sure if that was even possible,as far as the physical dimensions of the alternator are concerned...From what I've read,and admittedly,I have only scanned the alternator swap articles on this site,one of the modifications that are required involve modifying the original engine casings somehow,and I don't feel comfortable with my ability to do that...I have no problem with the wrenching part...
