Alternators

Forums

I have to replace the alternator on my 1959 featherbed ES2. I think it is the same as on Domi's. I will go 12V with electronic regulator. Which products are best? Does anyone have experience of the Alton product.

Boyer power box works for my Dommie. It did have three wire alternator but I leave it on maximum output. No need for a battery except for lights when standing still. With coil ignition a flat battery doesn't make much difference - just disconnect terminals (in-line fuse in my case) and kick start on the alternator. Then re-connect.

There are cheap unbranded ones around - I tried one and it was a waste of money. Don't know if others have had more luck.

Is your bike coil ignition?

I have bought both Al Oz's regulator and the RGM cheapie at different times. Both seem fine. I have had a Boyer one fail. Gordon.
