Hi,
Today I just got around to replacing the front crank seal. While I was
checking the rest of the bike over I noticed the generator was loose. I
bought this bike on Ebay and didn't know that the mounting pads had been
repaired. It looked like a good job however the piece of aluminum barstock
that was welded to the block has cracked loose from the welds. I just can't
face having the engine down again to reweld this with the chance of
distorting the lifter bores. I have heard of mounting an alternator from the
frame or maybe somehow fastening the generator to the frame. If anyone has
any details I sure could use the help.
