As title states, I'm looking for an Alternator Kit for my 1999 FXSTS.
Cycle Electric in specific.
They list 2 kits for my bike :
CE-32A & CE-32AL
They seem to be the same kit EXCEPT the CE-32AL has a different regulator & is specially tuned for the hotter running battery inside the horseshoe oil tank.
Any of you good folks buy one of these & which kit did you purchase & why.
Thanks for any help.
I haven't but a local indy I know well has done a couple of softtails friends have.
Both times he used the CE-32AL.
For him the warranty from CE was a reason for using what they recommended

Thanks for the reply.
Everything I can find on it points to that particular unit for a Softail
but thought I would ask here. Never knew there was a problem with the battery getting too hot
from being surrounded by hot oil, but makes sense.
Ill go with that unit.
When I was working through some electrical issues on my bobber, I ended up calling CE and talking it over with them.
Ended up talking with a very helpful and knowledgeable guy. Came away with the impression that CE is one of those companies that's small enough that they have people who know what they're doing on the phone.
Anyway, my $0.02 is to pick up the phone and see what they say.
I use the 32L. I have had nothing but great experience with them. Custom Dynamics and CycleElectric are always my two picks for companies that have always taken care of me. They will have my return business
