Stator question
I'm not having luck with the search for some reason, too many posts to wade through. Does anyone make a stator for my '79 550 that pumps out more juice than the stocker? I'm running more lights than stock and could use a little more "oomph". Already running a mosfet (sp?) r/r. If not then I'll just swap as much as I can over to LED's so my running lights don't overwhelm the system. ThanksTags: None

Hi,
If you are running a 12-pole stator you can upgrade to the later 18-pole stator to get a little more juice. You will also have to install a rotor from a later model so that the number of magnets match the stator. There were 4 magnets used in the rotor for the 12-pole stator and 6 magnets for the 18-pole stator.
I've also seen a picture of a car alternator on a GS850, mounted externally and using a fan belt from a pulley mounted to ignition side of the crank. But it was ugly with a capital UG!
Thank you for your indulgence,

Hi,
It might take some effort to get the rotor off, maybe an impact driver. You'll want to use some Lock-tite when you put the new rotor back on.
Thank you for your indulgence,
