    Where are you guys buying stators?

    I did a search but I am brutal at using the search function for some reason.
    Need a new stator for my 83 gs1100ed
    Suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Electrosport if and only if you do a series R/R.

      http://www.electrosport.com/street-b...tml?pt=stators For the stator and Compufire for the regulator/rectifier a bit pricey though. Polaris has a series type R/R that is priced right and works the same way for less $$ http://www.compufire.com/

        If you know your model, it's very hard to beat Amazon.com on price.

          Last time I looked the Caltric stators on ebay were going for $60 shipped.

                  Lol..you are right Garth. Of course the guy said when I bought it..."Bike needs nothing".

                  New tires
                  Chain and sprockets
                  stator
                  R/R
                  V&H 4-1
                  Dyno jet kit
                  Battery

                  Yep, didn't need a thing, just a rider.

                    What do you mean by "series" R/R? Do you mean the newer types that use MOSFETs?

                      Go up a few posts to silverbullet's query on same topic.

                          No, the MOSFET regulators are still the old-style "shunt" regulators, they just use better transistors to do the switching.

                          The "series" style regulators do not divert the entire output of the stator to ground when the voltage gets too high, they simply open up the connection to "turn off" the stator. The stator is not constantly putting out all it can, all the time, so it enjoys a better life, runs cooler and lasts longer.

                          Might be "up a few posts" when you posted this, but the order changes constantly.

                          Better to look up any of posplayr's posts and read the info in the links in his signature.

                            Show it how much you like it by surprising it with a series R/R! (If you haven't already.)
