hey guys just put a huge system on my 96 roadking. i want to put the biggest charging system on it. what would that be? not sure what amperage is stock either. the battery on the 96 is small and i want to keep it charged!

 

Imagine you put the biggest hose in the world, into the smallest swimming pool in the world, because you wanted to keep it filled up.

What do you think would happen?

 

My '86 had only a stock 22 amp system that was failing under any load.

Upgraded to what is now a stock standard on many bikes with a 32 amp system.

I do know they come larger than that, but the 32 amp was affordable ... with correct rotor, stator, and voltage regulator all matched this system works well.

Do you have a voltage meter on that bike to check your output?

Any idea what size came standard on your bike?

And don't overlook the battery. Some last 6 years and some crap in the first season.

 

hey guy if i wanted **** i would squeeze your neck! now... i didnt say i killed my charging system because i put this system on my bike... did i? i just asked what is the biggest charging system that is out there so i can help out my battery. i realize that these charging systems are not desinged to handle this kind of abuse... but i am doing it anyways! so i want to give it a chance by doing whatever i can do to help. im am not sure what the stock stator puts out on a 96 roadking. can somebody help me with that? then i will get something bigger.thanksshane

 

first of all thanks for a good response.there isnt a volt meter on my bike. not sure what size is on the bike right now. gonna look into that. it looks like the 32 amp stator is a step up. just wanted some extra ummfff!

 

Welcome to HDF. Asking what the biggest system available is when you haven't checked what you have, or that it is working properly isn't a good place from which to start asking questions! You may find you have a 32amp system that is the probably the biggest you can get on your bike and should be enough for most of us.

If you don't have one find yourself a factory service manual (I wish we got a dime for every time we tell newcomers that) and do some basic tests on your system. The book will tell you what you should have, help you work out what you actually have, and how to check if it is working.

Come back and let us know what you find.

 

I guess all I was lookin for was somebody that knew the largest stator that will bolt onto a roaD king.there isn't anything wrong My bike. the question was. What iS the biggest stator that is available? i may have the biggest but i dont know because nobody here knows either.

 

Here's a few to pick from. http://www.phatperformanceparts.com/...-chgsys-fl.htm

 

I have a 96 FLHTCU. The 32 amp stator is on my bike. According to the service manual the police bikes in 96 had a 38 amp system. I think the 38 amp became standard in 97.

 

I read on a post here somewhere that the cycle electric systems were very good. They make a wide variety of systems for our bikes.
