Default Starter question

I bought a starter for my 99 WG and it's a high torque starter but the jackshaft threads are 1/4-20 and the original on was a 10-32 bolt. It's not just a matter of replacing the bolt, the washer and seal, locking tang, and inner shaft would all have to be larger too. My question is did they change the design to 1/4-20 at some point? I'd rather go with the beefier design but does anyone know what year they did if they even did at all?

A dealer could tell you for sure and certainly someone else on here may know. Do you have any way to dimensionally comapre the starter / jackshaft assembly parts between the2 starters?Just a thought.

It looks like just the bolt, the two washers and the inner shaft(the one that goes through the seal) are the only differences.

Well if anyone else runs into this problem....til 93 they used a 1/4-20 jackshaft bolt so if you get a high torque starter make sure you check it before you have your bike all apart and have to deal with this BS
