Bob,
Owned several loops since 1980, done battle w/this problem. After broken
bolts & stripped threads, ended up retapping holes w/oversize studs,
loctited in place & nyloc nuts to hold gen. bracket. Not much room in
bracket PITA to do. Added shim at the front end of Gen. trying to reduce
load on studs. STILL had things work loose. Final solution has been to;
1. Add braces from rear gen. cover mount bolts to frame.
2. Run a "toothed" style belt at low tension.
I have seen bikes w/separate braces from all 4 cover mount bolts to frame.
