Hi Scott,
I believe the problem is one of clearance between the alternator and the
front fender. Unless you alter the steering head angle or otherwise
change the frame, they will hit. Cheers,

Charlie

David, Thanks for all the great info, its just what I was looking for.
One thing I don't understand though. Why do you have to use the
Generator and not the alternator already on the motor? Scott

Yep, there's one in mine

I used an SP 1000 motor with an Eldo 5-speed there are no
differences
that I noted.

ring gear?

I think not, I used a refurbished Eldo starter.

It will to the 5-speed motors I don't know that much about
converts.

thanks!

The alternator big twins had different front motor mounts
and require
welding on the frame. To put in the generator takes a small
amount of
drilling and tapping on the top of the motor plus a little
adaptor made
by Teo Lamers and sold in the states by Moto Int.

I had fun putting mine together and would do it all over
again if I was
doing a loopframe.
