alternator

[J.W. Price 5638]

I just found out that my stator windings are burned out. I had a charge of about 10, no better, thought my brushes were bad, but it was worse than that. I am now trying to decide which route to go . I am interested in doing the alt conversion. I don't like the idea of having to wait for a charge for 10 to 15 minutes every time I go for a ride. Have any of you used the new alt from cbxman? I know that it is expensive. This is a shortcoming along with the clutch which I also will correct in the near future.I also have a concern with how the new alt looks when installed, does anyone have a really good picture of it installed? I appreciate any help anyone could give me. Thanks, J.W.

Several guys have made the change. On cbxworld.com are some pictures that one of them posted after he changed the alternator.

I purchased and installed one of the CBXMan alternators on my 82 CBX last Fall. We took a couple day trip around northern Michigan and the upper peninsula. Also another day trip around the "thumb" area. I am very pleased with the performance of the unit. It was very easy to install. Everyone that has seen it on the bike thinks it looks pretty neat. I kept the original alternator for a future rebuild or in case I ever part with the bike and a new owner wants the original.
