I haven't had to replace a R/R or a stator on my HD's yet, but for every other bike I've owned and had to replace the R/R (and stator), I have had solid results from Rick's Motorsports. They're super reliable, plug right in, and out-performed OEM (some bikes OEM charging systems sucked). If and when I have to replace a R/R and stator, it'll be Ricks.

When a stator or R/R fails, it's really good insurance to replace the other component too, as they're often tied together. One failure often leads to the other failure. Ex: a failed R/R can burn up a stator.

Before changing out components, check all the grounds. Disconnect them, clean them up, put a light coat of dielectric grease on them, and reconnect. This goes for connectors within the charging system too. I've seen connectors in the Stator-R/R-Battery circuit that burned up due to high resistance caused by corrosion.

 

Bike has a DC generator, not a stator. A solid state voltage regulator from Cycle Electric is the best choice.

 

Thanks for the clarification. I thought most of the bikes had converted over by the mid '70s. I may be on the look for these components for my '63 XLCH... as soon as I finish three other projects.

All ironheads until late '84 came with gennies from the factory.
